Is there a gradual approach to the obligation of fasting for a new convert to Islam?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person is a new convert to Islam, do we proceed gradually with him in explaining the obligatory acts? For example, if he embraced Islam a few days before Ramadan, do we oblige him to fast, or do we leave him alone until he becomes strong in his Islam?

Answer:
He did not embrace Islam because he wants Islam and wants salvation from the Fire. This gradual approach is not for us; it belongs to Allah in His legislation. We inform him about fasting and command him to do it. If he refuses, he has apostatized. If he embraced Islam and refused to fast after being informed and taught, he has apostatized from the religion of Islam. Yes.
