Dear Brother / Sister,
Pregnancy is a sensitive issue; therefore, it is better to decide together with the doctor.
A pregnant woman should not fast in the first and last three months of pregnancy. In healthy pregnancy, a woman can fast in the fourth, fifth and sixth months of the pregnancy under the control of a doctor.
If a woman who is breastfeeding or pregnant fears that she or her baby will be harmed, she can perform fasting later. This decree does not change even if the baby belongs to somebody else.
In conclusion, we advise you to act in accordance with the decision of a religious doctor who is a specialist.
