Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is Abu Saud. He says: I am required to fast two consecutive months. Does the fasting have to start from the beginning of the month, i.e., on the first day, or can it start on any day, provided the total count is sixty days?
The Shaykh:
You have the choice. You may fast from the first day, from the middle of the month, or from the end of the month. You have the choice in this matter. Yes.
The questioner:
Now, regarding the woman who is afflicted with a legal excuse, does she stop and then continue?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if the legal excuse comes to her, she does not fast, because the fast of a menstruating woman is not valid. And if it leaves her and she performs the full ritual bath, then she fasts. Yes.
