Muwatta Malik: Book 18, Hadith 43
Similarly, a woman who has to fast because of having killed some one by mistake should not delay resuming her fast when she has become pure after her period. She continues her fast from where she left off.
No one who, by the Book of Allah, has to fast for two consecutive months may break his fast except for a reason – illness or menstruation. He must not travel and break his fast.”
Malik said, “This is the best that I have heard about the matter.”
