The Obligation of Fasting on the Mukallaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third and fourth questions of Fatwa No. ( 3325 )
Q3: A girl reached menstruation in her eleventh year of age. Is fasting obligatory for her? Please note that she does not enjoy good health. If she is unable to fast, what is required of her?
A3: If the situation is as you described, fasting is obligatory for her, because menstruation is one of the signs of puberty for women if it occurs when she is nine years of age or older. If she is able to fast, it is obligatory for her to perform it at its proper time. If she is unable to fast, or if it causes her severe hardship, she breaks her fast and it is obligatory for her
to make up the days she did not fast when she is able to do so.
