Question:
If a woman starts menstruating during Ramadan, is it permissible for her to break her fast? Also, should she make up for the missed fasts on other days?
Answer:
A menstruating woman’s fast is not valid, and it is not permissible for her to fast during her menstruation. Therefore, if a woman experiences menstruation during Ramadan, she must discontinue her fast. However, she is required to make up for the missed fasts on other days after becoming pure from menstruation.
