Answer 1

Another example of how religion works against life.

Answer 2

you should not do fasting in these conditions.you are exempt from it  

Answer 3

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding and fasting makes you sick you are allowed to make up the days or the whole month later in the year when you have time InshaAllaah.

The rest of your story?hmm are you for real? or just trolling around?

Tell your husband to get to work, you stay and chill in the house dear.

Answer 4

no way, god wouldnt do that to you.

Answer 5

It remains obligatory, unless the woman genuinely fears harm, with  near surety, or sickness for herself or for the child. "Genuine  fear" is that which is based on: previous experience, clear  unmistakable signs, or being informed by a qualified Muslim doctor  who is not outwardly corrupt.

2. Also, with reference to question (1) could you additionally elucidate the issues of kafara and qadha [making up an omitted obligatory act (just in case my transliteration is incorrect)] – if she abstains from fasting – if applicable.

Makeups (qada) are obligatory, but not immediately, though it is  superior to make up missed fasts immediately.

3. Does the hukm (of abstaining from fasting) still apply if the woman feels *capable* (i.e. fit) to fast? In other words, is a pregnant woman *obliged* not to fast, or does she have a choice, and are both options predicated upon the determination of her health and the health of the unborn child, or are there other considerations?

Note that the only medical opinion that is considered, in of itself,  is that of a Muslim doctor, unless the opinion of a non-Muslim  merely confirms one's own past experience or clear manifest signs.

The default is that Muslim women who are pregnant or nursing must  fast, and, in the long-term, take the health and nutritional means  to be able to fast.

4. Is there a time-limit for any qadha that are due upon her with respect to missed fasts?

No.

5. If a pregnant woman isn't fasting, does she still obtain the reward for praying the tarawih prayers? And would this reward be the same as if she *were* fasting?

The tarawih is unrelated to the fasting. However: it is not just  something one does for "reward". It is a confirmed sunna for both  men and women, which means that the one who leaves it without an  excuse accepted by the Shariah is sinful if they do so habitually,  and worthy of blame (from Allah) if they leave it even once.

The congregation is recommended for men, but not a confirmed sunna, though some held it to be a confirmed sunna as well.

The sunna of tarawih is all 20 rakats. Merely praying 8 does not fulfill the sunna.

6. What is the adab of a non-fasting pregnant woman consuming food/beverages in front of those who are fasting, if they are from her family?

They should not, if reasonably possible.

Wassalam,

Faraz Rabbani.

ALSO

One only leaves fasting due to pregnancy or nursing if there is good reason to fear harm for the mother or baby--based on experience; or reliable Muslim medical opinion (or a non-Muslim's medical judgment that confirms for one that there is "good reason to fear harm); or clear and unmistakable signs. (ibid)

What one should do is attempt to fast, while taking the means to be able to (in terms of fulfilling one's nutritional and other needs in the night hours). Then, if one finds any undue difficulty therein, one should stop. If this happens a few times, one can assume one is unable to fast, unless circumstances change.

Answer 11

There are certain ppl who are exempted from fasting....and you are one of them

Answer 12

No you are not supposed to fast if you are pregnant, nursing or even on your period. it is not required even if you are sick or mentally unfit. It is in the koran and you can even find it on websites that you shouldnt fast while pregnant

Answer 13

You are exempt from fasting while pregnant in Islam.

I am also pregnant and not fasting.

I'm 6 months along now.

You need to tell ur husband that it is not healthy for you and your baby that he makes you fast (which he has no right to do) while he sleeps. He sounds very lazy and inconsiderate, sorry to say.

I hope u the best.

Answer 14

No you are not supposed to fast when you are pregnant. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing where the child is inside you and you are their main source of life so why would you starve your child?

You're pregnant so your husband should treat you like a queen. I hope my future husband does that when I'm pregnant.
