Slam, I had a question I wanted to ask, OK like you know Ramzan is about to come and we Muslims have to fast.. so my question was that I am 31 weeks Pregnant and I am worried if I should fast, or not, and make them up later? But later when I will be alone fasting and I will be breastfeeding my child.. so please tell me what should I do? What does Quran and haadees say about this? Please help... thank you!
