Miss LFP, did you really read the whole post? The sheikh said if you think its harmful and you cannot handle the fast, then dont fast. Plain and simple. Maybe i wasnt clear enough. Not fasting in ramadan when pregnant should be a no brainer but when i was pregnant with my first, alot of people were “encouraging” me to still fast when i clearly couldnt handle the thirst factor. Same as this time around. In situations like this, it makes perfect sense not to put yourself in danger. With my first preg, another lady was pregnant at the same time, and she fasted almost each day and i didnt. Its a matter of personal choice and what you know is best for your child. Saadia, the sheikh said, same rules apply for nursing. And Allah knows best.

its not a matter of «if you think its harmful»…fact is that it IS harmful to keep an unborn baby hungry for 17hours…there is no question about it and “IF” doesnt even come into it. how can you judge yourself if keeping the baby hungry for 17 hours is harmful or not? do you actually talk to the unborn baby and ask if its ok and also ask it if you’re doing any harm to it? im sorry but what you said doesnt make any sense at all.
