Qadha for fasts missed during pregnancy

· 5 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I want to know that 5 years ago I was pregnant for my daughter in the month of Ramadaan, so after she was born I wanted to pay in the missed fasts as I have done for my eldest, but a moulana told me it wasn't neccessary I just have to pay fidya. Now people are telling me that I have to pay in the missed fasts. What am I suppose to do now?

Answer

You only have to keep qadha for the missed fast. You do not need to pay any fidyah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

و قال في رد المحتار : قوله ( وقضوا ) أي من تقدم حتى الحامل والمرضع ، قوله ( بلا فدية ) أشار إلى خلاف الإمام الشافعي رحمه الله تعالى حيث قال بوجوب القضاء والفدية لكل يوم مد حنطة كما في البدائع (رد المحتار 2/421-423)
