Is a woman required to obey her husband if he orders her to break her fast while making up missed days?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The wife, O Shaykh, is fasting to make up the days she owes from Ramadan, and her husband immediately asks her to break her fast. Does she have to obey her husband in this?

Answer:
It is not permissible for the husband to prevent his wife from fasting an obligatory fast, whether for performing it in its proper time, making it up, fulfilling a vow, or expiation. Once she has entered into it, it is forbidden for the husband to invalidate her fast. This applies only to voluntary fasting. Yes.
