Q: I am a lactating mother and feeding my child. My daughter is 1 year old. I heard that when mothers are feeding their children they are free from the Farz of roza (fast), is it true? If temporarily mothers are free then is there any Qaza of these rozas (fasts) after lactation or permanently lactating mothers are free?
Q: Can a pregnant and breast feeding mother break/miss the fast in Ramadhaan? Does she have to give fidya of the missed fast only or she has to keep the qadha later on? Is it ok if she gives fidya only? Can you please let me know the fidya for one fast.
Q: I would be grateful if Mufti Saheb could advise me on what is best course of action with regards to my situation as follows:

Please advise accordingly. Also, I am a Shafi'ee.
