Does a woman who is breast feeding in ramadan have to make their fasting up?

Question:

Salam

Does a woman who is breast feeding in ramadan have to make their fasting up after or they have to feed the poor?

Answer:

Wa Alaikum As Salaam,

They must make-up for the fasting after the month of Ramadhan. They are not allowed to feed the poor as a replacement for the missed fasts.

And Allah knows best,
