Question:
A woman broke her fast in Ramadan for six or seven days, and she was uncertain about the number, so she fasted seven days. The question is whether she owes anything regarding the fasting of the seven days, given that the most likely scenario in her opinion is that she fasted six days?
Answer:
She owes nothing; rather, this is the obligatory course of action. If she is uncertain about the days, she should exercise caution. If she is uncertain whether it was six or seven, she should make it seven, after exercising caution and exiting the state of responsibility with certainty. Yes.
