Does menstruation break the continuity of fasting for expiation?

Question:
If the expiation is fasting, O Shaykh, does the mother’s period prevent her from fasting?

Answer:
Menstruation does not prevent fasting. She fasts during her periods of purity for two consecutive months. Even if her periods intervene, they do not break the continuity. She continues; when she takes her bath, she resumes and builds upon the fasting she has already done until she completes two consecutive months. Yes.
