What is the ruling on a woman who reached puberty and used to fast and break her fast, but did not pray at times? Does she have to make up the missed prayers?

The Shaykh : Please, yes.

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

The questioner : I wanted to ask, Honorable Shaykh. She says that when she first reached puberty, Honorable Shaykh, she did not fast and did not pray. She would pray for a period and then stop for a period. Does she have to make up what she owes?

The Shaykh : If she was among the ignorant women, like women who, for example, lived in a remote desert far from knowledge, then you owe nothing.

The questioner : This is regarding forty years.

The Shaykh : All right, and this is old, all right, that is settled. Listen to the Shaykh, please, Honorable Shaykh. As for if she was in the towns and knew what people know, then she has to make up the missed prayers.

The presenter : All right, may Allah reward you with good, please.
