Question asked to Imaam Muqbil ibn Haadi (may Allaah have mercy upon him)
Q. What is the ruling of the fasting woman who menses came upon her while there was a short time remaining before the breaking of the fast?
A. "It is obligatory upon her to make up that day. This is the case if the Mu-adh-dhin calls the adhaan on time. As for the case where the sun has set and the menses came upon her, but the Mu-adh-dhin did not call the Adhaan yet, {except the likes of the Adhaan of the Shee'ah}, and the sky has become dark, her fast is correct and it is not obligatory upon her to make up that day."
