If a woman has made up what she owes from Ramadan, then she doubts whether she made it up or not, what is required of her?

The questioner : May the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The questioner : A woman has a make-up fast from Ramadan, and she fasted days while in doubt whether she completed the days she missed or did not complete them. What should she do in this situation?The Shaykh : If a woman has made up what she owes in fasting, then she doubts whether she completed what she owed or not, if she is one who suffers from obsessive doubts (waswas), then she should not pay attention to it, and the make-up is finished, and there is no need to return to it. And if she is not one who suffers from obsessive doubts, and this doubt of hers is genuine, then she must make up what she is in doubt about.
The questioner : She estimates the days?
The Shaykh : Yes, she estimates the days, but only if she is not one who suffers from obsessive doubts. Because the one who suffers from obsessive doubts—may Allah grant us safety—if he obeys his self and brings forth what he is in doubt about, it will bring him another doubt. Yes.
