Making up the fast for the one who abandoned it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And how it must be in the prayer, meaning that Ramadan should be praise, and it is the heart, but he indicated that it should be in the prayer, knowing that he did that and it is Allah

Answer:
Yes, if he abandons fasting and he has reached the age of puberty, it is obligatory for him to make it up, whether he abandoned it out of ignorance or intentionally. He must make it up, and he must pay expiation for the delay by feeding one poor person for every day. As for if he abandoned fasting while he was not of age, he owes nothing, because fasting is not obligatory for one who is not of age. If he did not fast by his right, it is voluntary, so if he abandons it, he owes nothing. Yes.
