Question
A woman who knows that if she goes to work, she will likely feel very unwell and will have to break the fast, is she obligated to take a day off, which includes financial loss and inconvenience to the employer, and stay in bed, thereby increasing the chance she can fast? It should be noted that the woman was breastfeeding until about a week ago.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It is highly recommended that she takes a day off and makes every possible effort in advance so that she can fast, and through this, she will merit a good year
