The questioner : If she fasted a day to make up for a missed one, but her monthly period came on during the time of the midday prayer, is it obligatory for her to repeat the fast for this day? Please advise us, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Yes, if a woman is fasting and menstruation comes upon her during the day, her fast becomes invalid due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the woman: This is because he addressed the women on the day of the festival and said: Sahih al-Bukhari 304 They said: O Messenger of Allah! What is the deficiency in her intellect? He informed them that the testimony of two women is equal to the testimony of one man. They said: And what is the deficiency in her religion? He said: If a woman menstruates during the day while she is fasting, her fast is invalid. If it was obligatory, she must make it up; if it was voluntary, she is not required to make it up. Yes.
The questioner : She says in a paragraph of hers, O honorable Shaykh.

Is it not the case that if she menstruates, she does not pray and does not fast?
أليس إذا حاضت لم تصلي ولم تصُمI have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.
ما رأيت من ناقصات عقل ودين أذهب للب الرجل الحازم من إحداكنIs it not the case that if she menstruates, she does not pray and does not fast?
