Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

I have been fasting since the start of Ramadan but I am overdue my period. I decided to take a pregnancy test at sehri which tested positive. Upon waking up this morning at 10 am, I took another test which also tested positive confirming my pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My question is do I intentionally break my fast, or do I continue until iftar?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A pregnant woman should fast, just like anyone else, unless she fears for her health or for her baby, in such case it is allowed for her not to fast. i<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, it is a misconception that pregnancy breaks the fast. You should continue to fast as long as it is safe for you and your child.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
