Is it obligatory to make up the day if a woman menstruates an hour before Maghrib while she is fasting?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Among the conditions for the validity of fasting is freedom from menstruation, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Is it not that when one of you menstruates, she neither prays nor fasts?" If a woman sees blood before sunset, even for a moment, her fast is invalid and she must make it up, due to the saying of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her: "That used to happen to us during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, so we were commanded to make up the fasts, but we were not commanded to make up the prayers."
