Question: If a pregnant woman dies before keeping (making up) her missed fast then what is the ruling in Islaam? Does the fast for her need to be made up by her son or by her husband?

Answer: The response of the Shaykh: If this lady who was pregnant was unable to fast and she passed away before being able to make up the fast, if the reason for her not fasting was to remove harm from herself, then the only thing that has to be done is that the fast be made up on her behalf. If it is because of her and because of her unborn child, then the fast has to be made up on her behalf and also, some atonement should be given - a kilo and a half of wheat, rice or dates for each day missed.
