Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Fasting in Ramadan
31

What if missed fasts have accumulated over many years?

If a woman has missed many fasts over several years due to repeated pregnancy and breastfeeding, and she is currently unable to make up the fasts due to health or capacity


Then:

  1. She may feed one poor person for each missed day
  2. Qada is not required, unless she later becomes able to fast


To get a correct ruling:

  1. First, consult a trusted, qualified Islamic scholar, or shaykh, for guidance specific to your circumstances


Islam does not burden a person beyond their ability.
