Both are good.

However, if she finds her heart in cutting the quantity and reading the translation, this is best.

A Muslim woman (non-Arab origin) has domestic duties and wants to finish her quran in the month of ramadan at the same time, but she does not understand arabic so she reads the translation of each verse.this takes a lot of time. people tell her to only recite the arabic part for now and do not concentrate on the translation for now, keep it for later, because there is an immense reward of reciting even one word of quran in this holy month. however, she is not satisfied with recitation only as its hard to guess what the meaning is… also, reading without recitation makes her mind wander off. there is a dilemma… reciting like a parrot without understanding and finishing the whole quran this month OR reading the translation and grasping each and every word but cutting down on the quantity as this way she would be able to finish half of her quran.

I wanted to find out im pregnant but the fear that if I miss my fast I will not be able to keep them later on during the year. As I haven’t been able to keep my previous pregnancy fast uptil now my qs is if I keep my fast with the neeyat that I’ll try to keep my fast but as a last resort if I feel really weak at any point during the day then I’ll break it ,would it be a sin?
