Within 24 Months of Birth

Question

A weak woman within 24 months of giving birth, does she need to fast? Thank you very much!

Answer

Hello 

Regarding childbirth, if she is nursing, she needs to fast. 

Regarding weakness, it should be checked if it is at the level of 'illness' that requires bed rest - she should not fast. If it is just a little weakness - she should fast.
