Q: If a woman is not to fast when she is menstruating, does she have to make up the days?
A: Peace be upon you sister. Feel glad to know that you are studying islam---May Allah guide you in that and InshaAllah (God willing) He surly guides the one who want to know and follow the Truth. But I'would like to remind you sister, as in today's time so much misinformation is spread about islam and some people even answer questions without correct knowledge. Please do ask for reference for the answer people give you. e.g. Reference can be made from the Quran---a revelation from God, Hadith---Sayings of the Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), fatwas---Legal rullings of Islam. Sister it is clear in Islam that a mensurating woman has to make up the fasts that she missed during her periods. Because Allah has ordered in the Quran that we (all muslims) must fast the same number of days. so even the sick has to make up the fasts that they missed and the elderly or those who have no hope or recorvy have to feed some poor people. will edit with reference latter InshaAllah That website has some problems now
