The ruling on a woman's fast if she begins menstruating after sunset

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question: If a woman begins menstruating shortly after sunset, what is the ruling on her fast?

Answer: Our answer is that her fast is valid, even if she felt the symptoms of menstruation before sunset, such as pain and discomfort, but did not see the blood come out until after sunset. Her fast is valid because what invalidates the fast is the emergence of menstrual blood, not the sensation of it.
