Chapter on Fasting for Menstruating and Post-Menstrual Women
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.'"
