Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman wants to fast to make up eight days. If she fasts on the day of 'Ashura, does it count as making up the fast, or does she fast it as 'Ashura and then fast another day to make up the missed one?
Answer:
No, making up the fast is according to the intention, for actions are by intentions. So whatever she intends as making up the fast is only making up the fast, and whatever she intends as 'Ashura is only 'Ashura. So one does not count as the other.
