The questioner : Also, in her questions, she says: The ninth day may come and I may not have become pure from my monthly period. Is it permissible for me to fast it as a make-up after the ninth day?
The Shaykh : No, do not fast it as a make-up, because this day is a specific, designated day.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If it is missed, its recommended status is dropped.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If she fasts, she will not obtain the reward for fasting that day.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : It might be said that she would obtain the reward because she left it for an excuse, just as if she left fasting Ramadan for an excuse, she would make it up. But there is a consideration here: making up Ramadan is obligatory, so it must be done. As for this, it is a recommended practice, and if its time is missed, it is dropped.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
