Summary
A mutahayyirah is a woman who has forgotten her menstrual habit in terms of duration, start and end times, and cannot distinguish the types of blood. She must fast the whole month of Ramadan because she may be in a state of purity, then fast a full month in another month. Two months of fasting yield 14 valid days from each month, a total of 28 days. The remaining 2 days are completed in a following month within an 18-day period, fasting 3 days at the beginning and 3 days at the end.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Wanita mutahayyirah wajib berpuasa penuh sepanjang bulan ramadan kerana masih wujud kebarangkalian(ihtimal) dia dalam keadaan suci.
