Question: is it safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women to fast in ramadan?

Answer: First of all, Allah gave you an excuse not to fast while pregnant for a reason. If you are healthy, at a good weight, eating well and you child is more than 6 month’s old and you really want to fast then you may try it for a couple of days.

If your milk supply decreases and you are nursing a two month old for example, then I believe this means your child is fasting with you while he should not and I believe at this point you should stop fasting and compensate later on.

For pregnant women this is even more serious especially during the first 3 months and the last 2 months.
