If a woman tells her husband, "I feel comfortable while fasting, and I feel tired when I am not fasting," to get him to agree to her fasting, is she considered a liar?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. If a woman wants to fast one day and break the fast the next, and she fears her husband will refuse her request, so she tells him, "I feel comfortable while fasting, and I feel very tired when I am not fasting," to get her husband to agree to her fasting, is she considered a liar? Given that she actually does feel comfortable while fasting?

Answer:
She is not a liar, as long as she feels comfortable with fasting, she is not a liar. However, be aware that it is not permissible for a woman to fast voluntarily while her husband is present, meaning he is there, without his permission. If he gives her permission, the concern is removed, and praise be to Allah.
