Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and messenger.

If a fasting women comes to experience her menstrual period even a short while before Maghrib time, then her fasting is invalidated and she is required to make up for that day later, as unanimously agreed upon by the Muslim scholars. Women are not allowed to fast while they have their menses.

Allaah Knows best.
