Question
In what ways can one be more lenient in a postponed fast compared to a regular fast?
Answer
In a regular fast, one cannot be lenient unless they are ill but not in danger. In a postponed fast, as written in the Ba'er Heitev regarding a postponed Tisha B'Av fast, if there is a slight illness or a pregnant woman experiences slight discomfort, they are permitted to eat. All the more so for other postponed fasts.
