Not fasting in Ramadhaan due to breastfeeding
Question
I'm a mother. I have a newborn child. So I'm feeding him breast milk. So further coming ramadan, I would like to stop this ramadhan from fasting. So can I do it, is it permissible to not fast in ramadan?
Answer
If an experienced righteous physician advises you not to fast then you may delay the fast.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
