The Ruling on Making Up the Days the Grandmother Missed Due to Menstruation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My grandmother (may Allah have mercy on her) used to not make up the days she broke her fast in Ramadan due to menstruation when she was young, out of ignorance. When she learned of this, she was old and did not make up those days. So, should we estimate the number and fast them on her behalf? It is known that she used to fast every Ramadan, meaning she was not excused by illness after that.
Answer:
If she is still alive, it is obligatory for her to make up the fasts. She is still alive. It is obligatory for her to make up the fasts, and they are not dropped from her. As for if she passed away before making them up, there is no harm, or it is recommended to make them up on her behalf. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
