I was keeping a qadhaa roza and at about 11am I got my period, subsequently I broke my fast, do I have to keep qadhaa of this qadhaa? (I had 6 qadhaa rozas before I started keeping this one, so will I now have six or seven?)

Question

I was keeping a qadhaa roza and at about 11am I got my period, subsequently I broke my fast, do I have to keep qadhaa of this qadhaa? (I had 6 qadhaa rozas before I started keeping this one, so will I now have six or seven?)

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Since a Qadha fast is only a substitute for the original, you would have to only make one Qadha i.e. there will still be six fasts compulsory on you; not seven.

And Allah knows best
