Answered by: Mufti Muddasser Dhedhy
Question:
Salam,
1. In the case of a person fasting 31 days. What is the hukm of this additional fast? Is it considered Ramadan fast (fardh) or is it nafl fast or something else?
2a) This is because if it is considered fardh or wajib a woman will have to do qadha of it if she misses it due to haidh.
b) If it is Nafl, then a woman can intend to do her qadha fast that day. Is that correct?
Please can you reference your answer from Hanafi kitabs.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
1) This day will have to be fasted, though it will be considered to be a Nafl fast.[1]
2a) Given that it is a Nafl fast if a woman misses it due to Haid she will not have to do Qadha of it.
2b) Although this fast will be a Nafl fast, given that this day is still a day of Ramadan this fast will be considered to be of Ramadan and therefore one cannot fast it with the intention of Qadha.[2]
Only Allah Ta'ala knows best.
