The Ruling on Making Up the Fasting of Ramadan That Was Left Before Knowing the Rulings

Question:
This sister who is asking says: I would like you, Honorable Shaykh, to inform me about my question. I got married when I was fifteen years old, and before the marriage, for two or three years, I used to fast Ramadan. However, I did not make up the fasts I owed. At that time, I knew nothing about the legal rulings, and none of my relatives, may Allah reward them, advised or guided me.

Answer:
When a child, male or female, reaches puberty, it is obligatory for him or her to fast, pray, and fulfill the other obligations, including fasting. So, if you left any of the Ramadan fasts after reaching puberty, whether due to menstruation or your ignorance, and you broke the fast, it is obligatory to hasten to make them up, because the obligation to make them up remains in your liability, no matter how long the time passes; it does not drop from your liability. So you must hasten, and feed one poor person for each day as expiation for the delay. Yes.
