Can Tanveer fast for Ramzan? I know in punjabis (atleast my family) women who are pregnant, elderly who are sick etc., are forbidden from fasting. So I am asking.

Yes a pregnant woman is allowed to fast as long as there's no harm to her or her baby...though it's usually recommended to take a doctors advice before doing so...

Yes they can. Though its not compulsory for them and they can miss it if they aren't feeling well.

The most correct view compares pregnant and nursing women to those who are sick, so it is permissible for them not to fast, and all they have to do is make up the days they missed, whether they feared for themselves or their child.

So If a pregnant woman fears that fasting may harm her or her baby, then she should follow the ruling on one who is sick. So she may break her fast and she has to make up the days that she did not fast.

Hope it helped 😊

CAN they: Yes.

Should they: No.

It's highly malnutitious to the mother and the baby. speaking from a medicine perspective only.

We are encouraged to fast while pregnant if there is no difficulty and no harm comes to the baby. I myself fasted the whole month while being 5 months pregnant and I was perfectly fine:)

She must be stealing food behind everyone's back, do you think she care at all about getting purified and all and meaning behind it. God will even have to think from where to start purifying from, she is so impure...

I wished Asad didnt let her do it and this pregnancy is exposed in front of all..
