My wife intended to fast the whole month of Rajab, without thinking about her period. Now her period has arrived...Does she have to make up for these days?
Question
My wife intended to fast the whole month of Rajab, without thinking about her period. Now her period has arrived, and she realized that she will not be able to fast the whole month. Does she have to make up for these days?
Answer
To make an intention to fast the whole month of Rajab does not make fasting in Rajab compulsory.
If your wife did not fast during her monthly cycle, she does not have to make Qadhaa (make up) for those days.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
