Additionally, according to the Shafi school, it is recommended to make up missed voluntary fasts if they are a regular practice. Therefore, she can also make up the fast.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fdd0b76658b4c23276e","tag":"Women: Menstruation and Bleeding","count":63},{"_id":"668d9ff20b76658b4c2329ef","tag":"Fasting: Missed & Make-Up","count":42},{"_id":"668d9fe20b76658b4c2327f5","tag":"Fasting: Sunnah","count":32}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:36.673Z"}
