Whoever missed the fast of Ashura does not make it up, because there is no evidence for that, and because the reward is tied to a specific day that has passed. Voluntary acts of worship that are tied to a reason, like the fast of Ashura, expire when their reason expires and are not to be made up. However, whoever was excused - such as a menstruating woman or a sick person - and their intention was to fast that day, they will be rewarded for their intention, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If a servant falls ill or travels, what he used to do when he was healthy and resident will be recorded for him."
