Ruling on postponing making up fasts of Ramadan until Sha'ban

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to make up the days of fasting missed from Ramadan in the last ten days of Sha'ban, or before that, for a woman?

Answer:
There is no harm for both the woman and the man; it is permissible to postpone making up the fasts until Sha'ban. Aisha used to postpone them until Sha'ban (may Allah be pleased with her)... And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
an equal number of days [are to be made up]فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ
[al-Baqarah:184] and He did not say "in such and such" or "in such and such," nor did He say that it is obligatory to hasten. This indicates leniency. So if one makes up the days of Ramadan in Shawwal, in Dhul-Qa'dah, in Dhul-Hijjah, in Muharram, in Safar, or until the end of the year, it is valid, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
