Know what the rules say
It is not right for a woman who is menstruating to keep fast, nor is it permissible for her to keep fast. When a woman feels that her periods are about to come, she can stop fasting, and when this period is over, it is mandatory to keep fast on those days for which the woman did not keep fast. If she does not do this, then it is considered a sin. On the other hand, if the periods start again after the periods are over, then the same rule will apply to her. you also read this Why do Hindus not wear gold on their feet?
Farj is necessary before Roja.
If a person has not made the intention of fasting the night before fasting, that is, before Farj, then his fast is not considered. If a woman intends to keep fast the next day, and if she says that if her periods come, then she will break the fast, then there is no objection, and it does not come under prolonging the intention; rather, her intention of fasting is strong. If a person vomits intentionally, then his fast is broken. On the other hand, if someone is really unwell and vomits while fasting, then his fast is not broken due to vomiting. For this, he can complete the number of fasts on other days.
