Question
A woman one year after childbirth, not breastfeeding, who has headaches due to the fast and some weakness not necessarily related to childbirth, is she required to fast?
Answer
Shalom Rav
If it is a weakness beyond the usual during fasts, it is permitted to eat.
If it is the usual weakness during a fast, one should try to continue fasting, and of course, rest and not exert oneself.
