From the Masjid Sahabah Project
May Allah reward every mother, wife, sister, and daughter among us with the best reward.
They are the ones who, during the month of fasting, carry burdens that would weigh down even the strong.
They spend the whole month serving at home, wanting us to fast in comfort and ease.
They cook at midnight while everyone sleeps, and again in the afternoon until evening.
Their wish is…

Fasting While Unsure if Menstruation Had Ended Before Dawn
Shaykh Uthaymeen rahimahullah said:
"Her fast is not valid, and she must make up that day later. This is because the basic rule is that the menstruation is assumed to still be continuing.

If a menstruating woman becomes pure before dawn but does not perform ghusl in time, can she still fast?
