The question

Must I make up the days I fasted, knowing that my menstrual period began before Ramadan and then stopped, and after using a contraceptive and then discontinuing it, bleeding occurred and lasted for about ten days, even though her usual period does not exceed six days, and then the next period began on the day of Eid?

The answer

If the total number of days of menstruation and the days of purity in between exceeds fifteen days, and there are not thirteen days of purity in between, then the returning blood is considered istihada (non-menstrual bleeding), for which prayer and fasting are obligatory, and the woman is not required to make up the fasts she observed during that period.
