Is the voluntary fast of a woman who menstruated just before the Asr prayer on the same day recorded as complete?
Scholars have agreed on the prohibition of fasting for a menstruating woman and its unacceptability, based on the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "Is it not that when one of you menstruates, she neither prays nor fasts?" If menstruation occurs during fasting, the fast is invalidated. However, she will be rewarded for her intention, based on the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "If a servant falls ill or travels, what he used to do when healthy and résident will be recorded for him."
