Questions about Ramadan-The fast of a pregnant woman

What is the legal ruling for my wife who can not fast in Ramadan because she will be in her third month of pregnancy?

Answer:
Dr. Ali Goma Mohammed

If your wife fears for herself, or fears for both herself and the fetus, she must only make up for the missed fast-days and she does not have to pay fiddyah (En. Penalty fee paid for missing fast days without an excuse). However, if she only fears for the fetus-especially if specialized physicians warned her that fasting may harm the fetus- she must then make up for missed fast days and pay fiddyah: it is to pay a mudd (0.51 liters) of food to the poor for each missed fast-day. A Mudd is one quarter of saa' which means the one-quarter of the amount paid for Zakat al-fitr including grains or dates or the like that fulfills the obligation.

Allah Almighty knows best.
