To the above commenter Allah swt has made things easy for us no need to over complicate matters; I paid Fidya last Ramadan because I was expecting Alhamdulilah. It is currently Ramadan 2021 and I will pay it this year too because I’m breastfeeding.

Could you please clarify at what point this fatwa can be applied?
The article states if a women can ‘expect’ to miss multiple Ramadhans, they can pay fidya. But surely you only knows if you will miss more than one, when you actually have, not before? So it can only be applied in retrospect?
Even with the best intensions to nurse a child, not everyone ends up breastfeeding, or will stop breastfeeding before the child is 1yr. Sometimes through reasons entirely out of their control. Similarly you may intend to become pregnant again immediately after giving birth, therefore missing two or more ramadhans, but Allah has other plans and you don’t conceive until 18 months later, for example.
So at what point do you change your intentions from intending to be catagorised as temporary and making them up by fasting, to making them up by paying fidya. Can the decision only be made for certain, rather than likely hood, in retrospect, once you have missed two ramadhans?
JazakuAllah Khyar
