Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: In past years, I left fasting some days of Ramadan, and I do not know how many days they were. What is obligatory for me? I was not committed at that time and used to pray only some of the prayers.
Answer:
If you were abandoning the prayer, your fasting was not valid. You must repent to Allah the Exalted and maintain your religion in the future of your life. Yes.
