The Shaykh:
If a person is required to, meaning a man.
The questioner:
And he mentioned menstruation and the festival.

He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a woman is required to fast two consecutive months as expiation, and then her fasting is interrupted due to menstruation or the arrival of a festival.
The Shaykh:
Consecutiveness is not interrupted by obligatory fasting, nor by obligatory breaking of the fast. Consecutiveness is not interrupted by obligatory fasting, nor by obligatory breaking of the fast. So when the excuse is removed, she continues the fast and builds upon what has passed. Yes.
