Title: Breaking of fast

Question: I know that if I started fasting, and then my period starts during Asr, or some other time during the day, my fast becomes invalid. So should I break my fast or continue to not eat throughout the day?

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1309/901/L=11/1434) The fast breaks when the menses starts. It is lawful for you to eat and drink after it. It is not necessary to remain without food the whole day.

Q. I have two questions: 1. it is often said that if a woman leaves her hair uncovered angels do not participate in that gathering.is there any basis of this in shariah? 2. it is m understanding that according to the ahnaf,when women are performing salah in jamaat it is necessary for the imam to make niyyat for the women otherwise their namaz will not be correct.this is not the view of hanaabila,shafi'iyya and maalikyyah, hence the imam ul haramayn do not make such a niyyah before their salah..does this consequently mean that the salah women offer in the haramayn shareefayn are not valid and need to be repeated? 2130 views
