How does a girl make up for her fasting if she menstruated for five days at the beginning of Ramadan, then became pure and fasted, then menstruated for seven days at its end, knowing that she only broke her fast for two days and was praying due to her doubt?
A woman stops fasting and praying if she sees menstrual blood during a time when it is possible for it to be menstruation, because the fasting and prayer of a menstruating woman are invalid by consensus. This girl erred when she fasted and prayed while menstruating. She must make up the days she fasted while menstruating, because her fasting was invalid, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Is it not true that when she menstruates, she neither prays nor fasts?" The Ummah has reached a consensus on the prohibition of fasting for menstruating women and women in postpartum bleeding, and the obligation to make up the fast for them. Therefore, the girl must count all the days she menstruated in Ramadan and make them up before the next Ramadan begins.
