Fatwa #252031 March 2001United States of America

How should a woman makes up for the mandatory fasts she misses due to monthly periods?

Question

I have a lot of these fasts to make up but don't have the strength to do so due to pregnancy and the period of lactation for another year or more. I was also pregnant last year. Can I give fidya or do I have to keep these fasts later?

Answer

A woman who is young and healthy must make Qadhaa (make up) for her missed
fasts. She cannot give Fidya (monetary compensation) for the missed fasts.
