Seorang ibu melahirkan anak dalam bulan puasa lepas itu membayar separuh sahaja puasa dan baki dibayar oleh suaminya?
Can a husband make up the fasts on behalf of his wife who gave birth during Ramadan, if she has only made up half of them?
Short answer
The fasts missed by a wife because of childbirth must be made up by the wife herself.

Summary
The fasts missed by a wife because of childbirth must be made up by the wife herself. A husband is not permitted to make up the fasts on her behalf. The remaining fasts therefore cannot be passed on to the husband to complete.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Puasa itu wajib dibayar oleh si isteri itu, Tidak boleh Suami mengqada'kan puasa itu bagi isterinya.
