Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman reaches puberty through menstruation during part of the month of Ramadan, is she required to make up the portion of that part she missed? And if she is not required to do so, is she required to make up the days she broke her fast because of menstruation?
Answer:
If she finds menstruation, meaning if she has not reached puberty through physical development, but rather through menstruation—meaning she has not completed fifteen years of age, nor has hair grown around her private parts, nor has she seen semen with desire, but only menstruation has come, and this is at the age of ten or eleven years or similar—then she reaches puberty through menstruation, as you heard. It is obligatory for her to fast from the time she reached puberty. If menstruation comes at the end of Sha'ban, she must fast the entire month. If it occurs during the month, in the days she fasted or after she fasted, if she becomes pure during Ramadan, she fasts and makes up the days of menstruation, because she has reached puberty.
