Before Reaching Puberty: If She Did Not Fast Due to Ignorance, Does She Have to Make It Up?

The questioner : She says that she did not fast Ramadan before reaching puberty, and because she did not know the signs of puberty, does she have to make it up, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : If she is not certain that she reached puberty, she owes nothing. If she is certain that she reached puberty, she has to make it up.

The questioner : So ignorance is not an excuse, Shaykh? She says she did not know the signs of puberty, did she?

The Shaykh : She did not know the signs, but she knew that one who has reached puberty is an adult.

The presenter : Okay, may Allah reward you.
