The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A woman had something happen that pleased her, so she vowed to fast the six days of Shawwal every year. In one of the years, during the time of the six days, she was in post-natal bleeding. Does she make them up in Dhul Qa'dah?
The Shaykh:
The time for the vow has passed. Since the time for the vow has passed, she expiates with the expiation for an oath. Yes.
The questioner:
And he says, may Allah preserve you: Is it permissible for her to begin this vow before making up Ramadan, since she has vowed it?
The Shaykh:
No. The six days are attached to the fasting of Ramadan, so she performs them after making up Ramadan. Yes.
