00:00Next question, from the point of view of a woman who is undergoing menstruation, postnatal bleeding, is it prohibited or optional for them to fast?
00:13As far as the women who are undergoing the menstrual cycles or postnatal bleeding, according to our beloved person, it's mentioned in Sahih Bukhari, also in Sahih Muslim,
00:24that it is forbidden for a woman to fast who is bleeding due to menstrual cycle or postnatal bleeding, so it is not optional, it is forbidden.
00:33And the reason is because when the blood flows out in a lady, in a woman, she loses a lot of blood and on top of that if she fasts, it will not be good for her health.
00:44So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, it is His mercy that He has exempted them and made it compulsory not to fast, otherwise it may be damaging for the health.
00:53And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does not want to overburden any of the human beings.
00:57So that is the reason they are exempted from fasting and even in the middle of the day, if the menstruation begins, they have to break their fast.
01:06Even if it begins a few minutes before sunset, they have to break their fast, but they have to compensate later on.
01:12But if they are undergoing the menstrual period and if the period stops just before Fajr, even if they did not have a bath, they can start their fast.
01:22But if it ends, even a few minutes after Fajr, they cannot fast.
01:26They have to break their fast and they have to compensate later on.
