Fasting in Ramadan, reaching puberty on the tenth day, breaking the fast for several days, and not making them up until now after eight years: what is required of me?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I am a young woman, thirteen years old. I fasted in Ramadan, and on the tenth day I reached puberty because my menstrual period came. So, of course, I broke my fast on those days when my period came, and I also broke my fast on the days after that. I have not fasted until now, and this has been the case for eight years. I want the answer. May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : As for the days before her menstruation began, she is not required to make them up, because they were before she reached puberty. As for what was after the menstruation, she is required to make it up. Based on this, what is obligatory for her in the example she mentioned is seventeen days, because she reached puberty on the thirteenth day. Is that how you calculate it? On the tenth day, if she reached puberty, she is required to complete the fast. Yes, and is it
The questioner : upon you to inform her?
The Shaykh : that she should sit, but if she has not made up the fast until now, she must repent, because it is not permissible for a person to delay making up the fast of Ramadan until the second Ramadan comes, except for an excuse, even if there was no excuse, and eight years have passed since then.
The questioner : to repent and make up the days that are upon her.
