Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says she wants to fast on Mondays and Thursdays voluntarily, but her husband refuses. She also has to make up several months of Ramadan because she did not fast Ramadan at the beginning of her puberty. What is the ruling?
Answer:
As for making up the fasts, it is obligatory for her to make them up, and her husband has no right to prevent her from making them up. If he wants to prevent her from making them up, she does not obey him; rather, she makes up what she owes. As for voluntary fasting, she does not fast except with her husband's consent. If he prevents her from voluntary fasting, she refrains.
