Q: I wanted to know if a pregnant (9 months) woman is exempted from fasting during Ramadhan even if she’s not sure if it would be critical to her or her child’s health, and what would be considered to be a valid reason to not fast?
A: If she is not experiencing any health issues and she is able to fast, then it is compulsory upon her to fast. However, if she is ill or experiences weakness and a Muslim, experienced doctor advises her not to fast due to her condition as there is fear over her or her child, then in such a case she will be granted concession not to fast and to make up for the missed fasts after Ramadhaan.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
