We present the legal rulings from all schools of thought and scientific evidence on the effects of fasting during pregnancy, and whilst breastfeeding. Our intention is to equip women with the most recent findings and authentic literature so that you can make an informed decision on fasting Ramadan.

Take a look at our core sections on pregnancy and breastfeeding, along with a short section on fatawa and medical advice. You'll also find some essential reading on missed fasts, a succinct set of juristic fiqhi rulings and a lovely collection of sisters' personal Ramadan accounts.

This website helped inform advice for doctors, published in the British Medical Journal (2022), so we encourage you to share it with your midwife and doctors. We have an eBook and published version here.
