Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman owes fasting for two consecutive months. Is she required to begin fasting from the first day of the month, or may she begin fasting during the month?
Answer:
If the two months were specified, she begins from the first day of the first month until the end of the second month. But if the two months were not specified—she vowed to fast, for example, 60 days, or two unspecified months, meaning she fasts 60 days—she may begin from the first day of the month, from the middle, or from the end. There is no harm; the important thing is 60 consecutive days. Yes.
