Fasting the six days of Shawwal, starting on Friday

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a woman wanted to fast six days in Shawwal, so she fasted the first day on Friday. She did not intend to single out that day, but she had a valid legal excuse and other reasons. It is also known that she did not fast immediately after that day, but only two days later.

Answer:
There is no blame on her, if Allah wills, as long as she intended to fast the six days and started on Friday. However, she was prevented by an excuse and could not fast after Friday due to that excuse, so she is excused and there is no blame on her because she did not intend to single out that day.
