Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. An elderly woman, seventy years old, used to fast in her youth, but when menstruation came, she would break her fast and did not make up the days she missed because she was ignorant of the ruling. What is the ruling in her case?
Answer:
These remain a debt in her conscience. The days she did not fast remain a debt in her conscience, so she must make them up, and she must feed one poor person for each day as expiation for the delay.
