Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am a woman who has a number of days of fasting to make up, and I do not know how many. What should I do?
Answer:
Act on the estimate that is most likely to be correct. Fast based on that. If you have no certainty, ask your husband or someone with you who may remember when you broke your fast. Otherwise, act on the most likely estimate. If you think the number is five, fast five; if six, fast six; if seven, fast seven; if eight, fast eight. Fast according to what is most likely to be the case until you are certain that you have fulfilled the obligation.
