Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to make the intention to fast the next day of Ramada

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Amjad Rasheed

Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to make the intention to fast the next day of Ramadan, it being probable that her period will end and she can then fast?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

If a menstruating woman, before her period is over, makes the intention to fast the next day of Ramadan, it is valid, on the condition that she has already completed the days of her menstrual habit and that according to her habit, her period should end that night.

However, if the days of her habit have not been completed or if her habit is different, then her intention is not valid, because her intention is not based on something valid as the erudite scholar Ibn Hajar said in the Tuhfa (3:397)

And all this is valid only if her period stops before dawn, for if it continues until after dawn, even if a little, her fast is not valid at all.

السؤال: هل يجوزُ للمرأة الحائض أن تنوي في الليل صومَ غدٍ عن رمضان على احتمال أن دمها ينقطع فتصوم ؟ الجواب : إن نوت الحائضُ قبل انقطاع دمها في الليل صومَ غد عن رمضان ، فإنه يجزئها ذلك بشرط أن تكون قد أتمت قدرَ أيام عادتها المستمرة في الحيض وأن تثقَ بعادتها أن ينقطع الدم ليلاً . أما إن لم يتم لها قدرُ عادتها أو اختلفت عادتها فلا تجزئها تلك النية ؛ لعدم بناء نيتها على أصلٍ صحيحٍ كما قاله العلامة ابن حجر في “التحفة” (3/397) . وهذا كله فيما لو انقطع دمُها قبل الفجر ، أما لو استمر إلى ما بعد الفجر ولو قليلاً فلا يصح صومُها مطلقاً .
