Question
Which is better for my intention during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah; to make up for missed fasts or to intend to fast the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible for a woman to fast the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah to earn the reward of fasting during these days, and then to make up for what she missed during Ramadan, because making up is an obligation that is extended until the next Ramadan, and God knows best.
