Question
Hello, My wife gave birth two months ago and is fully breastfeeding. Can she drink in small amounts on Yom Kippur? (I should note that she becomes very weak during fasts) Thank you.
Answer
Hello,
A nursing mother is required to fast.
It is important to ensure she rests properly in an air-conditioned place, even at the expense of her prayer and her husband's prayer.
