fasting during pregnancy

Pregnant women who fast during Ramadan could be putting the health of their unborn baby at risk, according to a new study. Fasting during the month is one of the five pillars of Islam, although pregnant women are exempt if it poses a risk to their health.

WHO IS EXEMPT FROM SAWM?

Fasting is mandatory on every Muslim who is sane, adult, able and resident. The following exemptions apply:

  1. 1,the insane;
  2. 2,children who are not adolescent yet;
  3. 3,the elderly and chronically ill for whom fasting is unreasonably strenuous; Such persons are required to feed at least one poor person every day in Ramadan for which he or she has missed fasting.
  4. 4,pregnant women and nursing may postpone the fasting at a later time;
  5. 5,the ill and the travellers can also defer their fasting.
    Allah says in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Baqara:

    'But if anyone is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period should be made up by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put you to difficulties.'

  6. 6,Women during the period of menstruation or of post childbirth confinement. Fasting during these periods is forbidden and should be made up later, a day for a day.

She started to get very cold and weak, so their parents took her to the trolls, who had their own magic. The trolls removed the ice from Anna's head, but they had to take all memory of Elsa's magic with it. So Anna didn't remember what had happened, or that Elsa had magic at all. To protect Elsa's secret, the King and Queen closed the castle gates and limited the people who came inside. Elsa didn't want to hurt her sister again, so she...

FIGURE OUT OVULATION DATE The key to getting pregnant quickly is figuring out when you'll ovulate, or release an egg from your ovary. You ovulate only once each menstrual cycle.
