Question:
He says: If a disbeliever embraces Islam in the middle of the month of Ramadan, is he required to fast the rest of the month and make up the fasting he missed?

He is required to fast the rest of the month from the time he embraced Islam. As for what came before that, he owes nothing, because he was a disbeliever at the beginning of the month, so he does not make it up. He is only required to fast the days during which he embraced Islam, whether that number is few or many. As for what was before his Islam, he owes nothing. Yes.
