Counting the Fast of One Who Held Back as Precaution
A woman complained that she had become pure, so she refrained from eating from dawn and intended to fast. She stayed that way until the afternoon of that day as a precaution, then she took a ritual bath and completed her fast. Does her fast for that day count?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If she became pure before dawn in a time sufficient for washing and the intention for fasting this day, then her fast is valid, and God knows best.
