If a woman wants to fast one day and break her fast the next, does she have to make up the days of her menstrual period?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman wants to fast the fast of the Prophet Dawud (peace be upon him), meaning she fasts one day and breaks her fast the next, does she have to make up the days of her menstrual period for those days? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. As for a woman who wants to fast the fast of Dawud (peace be upon him), which is that she fasts one day and breaks her fast the next, she breaks her fast during the days of her monthly period, the days of post-natal bleeding after childbirth, and the two days of the festivals. She breaks her fast on these days and does not make them up; because this fasting is voluntary, and voluntary fasting is not made up. Making up is only for obligatory fasting. Yes.
