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

 <\/p>\n

I am breastfeeding my one-year-old child and I have tried my best recently to make up fasts from last year after I had my baby, by missing a day or two between fasts. However, it is affecting my milk supply and I am developing weakness and pain in my body which is made worse by a condition that I have.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I wasn’t sure at the time whether I had to fidya as well, but with Ramadhan approaching, I am worried about what to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I feel I’ll struggle to fast the entire month this year, as much as I’ve really been wanting to, and how it would affect my overall health and my child’s nutrition. I also have two other disabled children who require full-time care and I worry about how well I’ll be able to care for them too due to my own weakness.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please can you clarify if I can exempt myself from fasting again this year and if I need to pay fidya or make up the fasts later when my child is less reliant on my milk.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

According to Hanafi scholars, if you are breastfeeding then it is permissible for you to not fast if you fear for your child.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You could later make up for these fasts once you are able to (e.g. when you stop breastfeeding).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
