Dought n clear, - Should a woman start with making up missed fasts from Ramadaan or with the six days of Shawwaal?

What should a woman do first: fast the six recommended days of Shawwal
( Alayam Alsetta Albeed) or fast equivalent to the days she missed in
Ramadan due to her monthly period?
Praise be to Allaah.
If she wants to earn the reward mentioned in the hadeeth of the
Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), "Whoever fasts
Ramadaan then follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if
he fasted for a lifetime"(reported by Muslim, no. 1984), then she
should complete her Ramadaan fasts first, then follow it with six days
of Shawwaal, so that the hadeeth with beapplicable to her too, and she
will gain the reward mentioned in it.
As regards the matter of permissibility, it is permissible for her to
delay making up her Ramadaan fasts, provided that she makesthem up
before the next Ramadaan comes along.
