Summary
A woman who is pregnant with or nursing a child born of zina receives the same concession to break the fast as other pregnant and nursing women, with no exception. The concession applies when she fears for her own safety, the unborn child or the nursing infant. If she fears for herself, or for herself and the child, she only needs to make up the missed fasts. If she fears for the child alone, she must make up the fasts and also pay fidyah for each day missed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
keringanan (rukhsah) berbuka puasa bagi wanita hamil dan menyusukan anak ini merangkumi juga wanita yang sedang hamil dan menyusukan anak hasil perbuatan zina tanpa ada pengecualian.
