Reference number: 656181 | Fasting | June 20, 2019
Peace Be Upon You It happened that I got my period five minutes before al-Maghrib prayer call; shall I make up the day or not?
Answer
Answer:
Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.
Referring to your question, menstruation invalidates fasting even if it happens a minute earlier than al-Maghrib prayer call, and the woman should make up that day.
The Higher Palestinian Legal Verdict Council has decided in its session which was held on Sha’ban, 19th, 1440 H (occurring on April, 25th, 2019) that menstruation and puerperium invalidate fasting even if they occur a minute earlier that al-Maghrib prayer call. A woman must break her fasting and make up the same number of days later. (item 1/173)
