Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says that she did not fast ten days of Ramadan because of menstruation. Her question is: Is it permissible for me to fast these ten days in the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah so that I may obtain both rewards?
Answer:
You will only obtain one reward, the reward for making up the fasts only. Fast the make-up days before the ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Do not make things difficult for yourself by combining the acts. Hasten to fast the make-up days, and fast the ten days of Dhul Hijjah. You are in need of the reward, and you are in need of, in need of, obedience. Do not make things difficult for yourself by combining acts of obedience in one act. Yes.
