The Ruling on Continuous Fasting as Expiation for Unintentional Killing for a Woman
In the event of an accident with a driver, resulting in the death of more than one person, should an expiation be paid for each one or just one expiation? If the driver is a woman, is menstruation considered an excuse for breaking the fast?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: She must fast for sixty consecutive days for each one, and she can consider her monthly period as an excuse for not breaking the continuity, and God knows best.
