Fasting for a Nursing Woman
A woman is nursing her infant, and due to breastfeeding, her weight is decreasing, and her weight is below normal. She fears that she may suffer from malnutrition. Is it permissible for her to break her fast in this case?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible for a nursing mother to break her fast if she fears for herself or her child, and she can make up for it later. God knows best.
