Summary
If a woman vows to fast on a certain day without specifying the exact date, she is free to choose any such day. If she specifies the exact day and date, she must fast on that day without advancing or delaying it. If menstruation occurs on that day, she is excused and must make up the fast after she becomes pure from menstruation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Akan tetapi, sekiranya dia kedatangan haid justeru ia dimaafkan dan puasanya wajib diqada selepas ia suci daripada haid.
