Hamad Medical Corporation advises pregnant and breastfeeding women to take caution when fasting in R

Pregnant or breastfeeding women who don’t feel well enough to fast during Ramadan, or are worried about their health or their baby’s wellbeing, have been advised to talk to their physician and get a general health check before deciding to fast.

Many Muslims are of the opinion that pregnant or breastfeeding women should not observe fasting during Ramadan. This is because Islam exempts them, small children and ill people from fasting.
In addition, pregnant women should avoid sweets and other sugary snacks usually consumed after Iftar.
