Fasting while pregnant (3/3)

· 25 Shaʻban 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I know that a woman cannot keep fasts whilst in Haidh-menstruation. Then, if she experiences menstruation whilst fasting, does she have to keep Qadha for the missed fasts in Haidh or not?

Answer

A woman who experiences menstruation during her fast will have to make Qadha for that fast as well as all the fasts she missed during her menstruation. (Hidaayah)

N.B. The Qadha of the missed fasts of Ramadaan will be made after the month of Ramadaan.

And Allah Knows Best
