Must a wife make up the days she missed fasting before marriage, when her father prevented her from making them up by saying, "I will pay money"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman who breaks her fast in due to menstruation or other reasons must make up the days she missed. It is not permissible for her to resort to feeding the poor (fidya) unless she is unable to make up the fasts due to old age or an incurable illness. The feeding (fidya) that the wife's father paid is not sufficient unless she is suffering from an incurable illness that makes fasting difficult.
