Subject : Islamic Ruling on the Menstruating Woman who Fasts out of Shyness from her Family
Fatwa Number : 4113
Date : 27-01-2026
Classified : Things which Invalidate Fasting
Fatwa Type : Summarized Fatawaa

Question :

Is a woman sinful if she fasts out of shyness from her family while menstruating or in postnatal bleeding?



The Answer :

It is forbidden for a woman who is menstruating or in postnatal bleeding to abstain from food and drink with the intention of fasting. If she fasts out of shyness, she is sinful, as her fast is not valid.

However, if she refrains from eating and drinking without intending to fast, it is not forbidden, but she unnecessarily burdens herself without need.
