What should I do if I am unable to fast the first five days of Dhul-Hijjah due to menstruation? Is it permissible for me to make up for them after Eid in the month of Dhul-Hijjah? And is this a sign of Allah's wrath upon me?

It is not prescribed to make up the first five days of Dhul-Hijjah that were missed due to menstruation, because they are a whose time has passed. As for missing their fasting, it cannot be definitively said that it is a punishment from Allah, for you may have a great reward due to the sincerity of your intention. Nevertheless, it is not precluded that its cause could be sins you committed, for the ill effects of sins may result in missing some acts of obedience.
