BAYAN LINNAS SIRI KE-266: MENJAWAB DAKWAAN TIDAK PERLU QADA PUASA JIKA TELAH MEMBAYAR FIDYAH
Does a pregnant or breastfeeding woman who broke her Ramadan fast still need to make up the fast if she has paid fidyah?

A pregnant or breastfeeding woman who breaks her fast out of concern for herself, or for herself and her child, must make up the fast without paying fidyah.

Summary
A pregnant or breastfeeding woman who breaks her fast out of concern for herself, or for herself and her child, must make up the fast without paying fidyah. If she fears only for the child or foetus, the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools require both making up the fast and paying fidyah, according to the stronger opinion. The Hanafi school requires only making up the fast, while the Maliki school requires fidyah in addition only for the breastfeeding woman. Paying fidyah therefore does not remove the obligation to make up the fast.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ulama empat mazhab sepakat bahawa wanita yang hamil atau wanita yang menyusukan anak jika dia berbuka puasa kerana khuatir tentang dirinya atau khuatir dengan keadaan diri dan anaknya maka dia perlu untuk mengqada semula puasanya tanpa perlu untuk mengeluarkan fidyah
