A girl who did not fast Ramadan because she was tending sheep in extreme heat, thirst, and hunger; what is required of her now?

Question:
She asks and says: I am a twenty-year-old girl who has never fasted Ramadan because I was tending sheep in remote areas, and due to the climate conditions, the extreme heat, thirst, and hunger. Do I have to fast now? And if so, what do I do about the past years? May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Knowing that the number of years I did not fast is many. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

Answer:
If this breaking of the fast occurred in the months of Ramadan after reaching puberty, then it is obligatory to make up the fasts; it is obligatory to make up the Ramadans that the questioner broke, along with repentance and seeking forgiveness, and feeding one poor person for each day as expiation for the delay. This is necessary. She must fast the months she left off, one by one, in order, and her obligation is not cleared except by doing so. However, if it was before reaching puberty, she does not have to fast, because fasting becomes obligatory upon reaching puberty. Yes.
