رَوَى أَبُو اَلصَّبَّاحِ اَلْكِنَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اِمْرَأَةٍ أَصْبَحَتْ صَائِمَةً فَلَمَّا اِرْتَفَعَ اَلنَّهَارُ أَوْ كَانَ اَلْعِشَاءُ حَاضَتْ أَ تُفْطِرُ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَبْلَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ فَلْتُفْطِرْ» وَ عَنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ تَرَى اَلطُّهْرَ فِي أَوَّلِ اَلنَّهَارِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ لَمْ تَغْتَسِلْ وَ لَمْ تَطْعَمْ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ بِذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمِ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا فِطْرُهَا مِنَ اَلدَّمِ.
Abu al-Sabbah al-Kinani narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: Regarding a woman who begins her day fasting and then menstruates during the day, whether it is midday or evening. Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, she must break her fast, and if it is before sunset, she should break her fast." As for a woman who becomes pure from menstruation early in the day during the Month of Ramadan but does not perform ghusl or eat anything. Imam عليه السلام said: "Her breaking of the fast is only due to the presence of blood (menstruation)."

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اِمْرَأَةٌ طَهُرَتْ مِنْ حَيْضِهَا أَوْ دَمِ نِفَاسِهَا فِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ اِسْتَحَاضَتْ فَصَلَّتْ وَ صَامَتْ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ مَا تَعْمَلُهُ اَلْمُسْتَحَاضَةُ مِنَ اَلْغُسْلِ لِكُلِّ صَلاَتَيْنِ هَلْ يَجُوزُ صَوْمُهَا وَ صَلاَتُهَا أَمْ لاَ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «تَقْضِي صَوْمَهَا وَ لاَ تَقْضِي صَلاَتَهَا لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ بِذَلِكَ ».
Ali ibn Mahziyar narrated: "I wrote to Imam عليه السلام about a woman who became pure from her menstruation or postpartum bleeding at the beginning of the day in the Month of Ramadan, but then experienced istihadha (irregular bleeding). She prayed and fasted the entire Month of Ramadan without performing the required ghusl for every two prayers as is prescribed for a woman in istihadha. Is her fasting and prayer valid or not?" Imam عليه السلام wrote in reply: "She must make up her fasts, but she does not need to make up her prayers, because the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) used to command the believing women among his wives to follow this ruling."

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ قَالَ «تَصُومُ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ إِلاَّ اَلْأَيَّامَ اَلَّتِي كَانَتْ تَحِيضُ فِيهِنَّ ثُمَّ تَقْضِيهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ».
It was narrated from Sama'ah: "I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about the woman experiencing istihadha (irregular bleeding). Imam عليه السلام said: 'She fasts during the Month of Ramadan, except for the days on which she would normally have her menstrual period. She must then make up those days afterward.'"

وَ سَأَلَ عَبْدُ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ اَلْحَجَّاجِ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ تَلِدُ بَعْدَ اَلْعَصْرِ أَ تُتِمُّ ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمَ أَمْ تُفْطِرُ فَقَالَ «تُفْطِرُ ثُمَّ تَقْضِي ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمَ».
It was narrated from Abdul Rahman bin Al-Hajjaj: "I asked Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام about a woman who gives birth after Asr (afternoon prayer). Should she complete her fast for that day, or should she break it? Imam عليه السلام said: 'She should break her fast and then make up for that day later.'"

وَ رَوَى اَلْعِيصُ بْنُ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ تَطْمَثُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغِيبَ اَلشَّمْسُ قَالَ «تُفْطِرُ حِينَ تَطْمَثُ».
It was narrated from Al-Ays bin Al-Qasim: "I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a woman who begins menstruating during Month of Ramadan before sunset. Imam عليه السلام said: 'She should break her fast as soon as she begins menstruating.'"

وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ مَرِضَتْ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ أَوْ طَمِثَتْ أَوْ سَافَرَتْ فَمَاتَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ هَلْ يُقْضَى عَنْهَا قَالَ «أَمَّا اَلطَّمْثُ وَ اَلْمَرَضُ فَلاَ وَ أَمَّا اَلسَّفَرُ فَنَعَمْ ».
It was narrated by Ali ibn Al-Hakam from Abu Hamza: "I asked Abu Ja'far عليه السلام about a woman who was sick, menstruated, or traveled during Month of Ramadan and then passed away before the end of the month. Should fasting be made up on her behalf? Imam عليه السلام said: 'As for menstruation and illness, no. But as for travel, yes.'"

وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ اِمْرَأَتِي جَعَلَتْ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا صَوْمَ شَهْرَيْنِ فَوَضَعَتْ وَلَدَهَا وَ أَدْرَكَهَا اَلْحَبَلُ فَلَمْ تَقْدِرْ عَلَى اَلصَّوْمِ قَالَ «فَلْتَصَدَّقْ مَكَانَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِمُدٍّ عَلَى مِسْكِينٍ ».
It was narrated by Ibn Muskan from Muhammad ibn Ja'far: "I said to Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام: 'My wife took upon herself to fast for two months, but she gave birth and then became pregnant again, so she was unable to fast.' Imam عليه السلام said: 'She should give in charity for each day a mudd (measure) to a poor person.'"
