“This was meant to be a concession for old men and women, who fast with difficulty, to break their fast and feed in the stead one poor person per day. The same applied to the pregnant and nursing women if they feared [Abu Dawood: for their children,] they may break their fast and feed instead.\u201d<\/p>\n

This position of Ibn \u2018Abbas is a minority position. According to the four schools of fiqh, you need to make up for the missed days during pregnancy and\/or breastfeeding. Ibn \u2018Abbas\u2019s position is strong. However, if you want to stay on the side of caution, you may then need to make up for all the days you missed. If you feel it will be hard on you to make up all the days, then you may act upon the position of Ibn \u2018Abbas and subtract the days during which you were pregnant or breastfeeding.<\/p>\n

Here is a more detailed discussion of this position.<\/p>\n

This is not the authorized view (al-mu\u2019tamad) in any of the four madh\u00e2hib. However, it is attributed authentically by ad-Daraqu\u1e6dni, al-Bazzar, and others to two companions Ibn \u2018Abb\u00e2s and Ibn \u2018Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). It is noteworthy to say here that Ibn \u2018Abb\u00e2s\u2019s understanding of the verse 2:184 \u201cAnd upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] – a ransom of feeding a poor person,\u201d and that it applies to old people that made all scholars demand the fidya (expiation) only from old people. He said in the same reports that it also applied to pregnant and nursing women. There are no traceable hadeeths to indicate otherwise.<\/p>\n

Additionally, this was not only the position of those two great companions, it was also the position of al-Q\u00e2sim ibn Muhammad, Sa\u2019eed ibn Jubair and others of the Tabi\u2019een (Al-Istidhk\u00e2r by Ibn Abdul-Barr, Beirut: D\u00e2r al-Kutub al-\u2018Ilmiyah, 3\/365) and it was the position of Ish\u00e2q (rahimahullah) of the fuqah\u00e2\u2019. (Al-Istidhk\u00e2r by Ibn Abdul-Barr, Beirut: D\u00e2r al-Kutub al-\u2018Ilmiyah, 3\/365). It was also understood by some to be a report from Malik (rahimahullah), in al-Mudawwanah, through Ibn Wahb. Note: Ibn Hazm (rahimahullah) does not require make up or expiation.<\/p>\n

Of the contemporary scholars who supported this position, here are some:<\/p>\n

D\u00e2r al-Ift\u00e2\u2019 al-Misriyyah issued by the late Sheikh \u2018Atiya Saqr (rahimahullah) (where he mentions this position among others and doesn\u2019t favor anyone).<\/p>\n

The Fatwa Committee of Majma\u2019 al-Buhooth al-Islamiyyah allowed those who find it difficult to make up the fast to take the position of Ibn Abbas and Ibn Umar.<\/p>\n

This was also the position of Sh. Al-Alb\u00e2ni (rahimahullah) and Sh. Sayed S\u00e2biq (rahimahullah) in Fiqh-ul-Sunnah.<\/p>\n

You may also refer to this fatwa of Sh. Al-Qarad\u00e2wi<\/a> (hafizahullah).<\/p>\n

N.B: Positions outside the four madhahib can only be accepted with stringent criteria. The position must be needed to relieve some \u1e25araj (hardship), upheld by a mujtahid, substantiated by some proof(s), and sanctioned by collective ijtihad or widespread acceptance. You may refer to this article \u201cCan there be truth outside the four madh\u00e2hib?<\/a>\u201d for a detailed discussion.<\/p>\n
