Tisha B’Av — Pregnancy with Iron Deficiency
Question
My wife will be 36 weeks and 3 days pregnant on Tisha B’Av, and two weeks ago she received an iron infusion. Does she need to fast?
Answer
Hello and blessings.
If she feels well, she should fast.
If she remains weak due to iron deficiency, she should not fast.
