An elderly woman who left fasting Ramadan when she was 15 years old: is she required to make up what has passed?

Question:
Muhammad from Ta'if is with us on the line, please go ahead, Muhammad. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Honorable Shaykh, the first question is about my mother, may Allah preserve her. When she was 13, 14, and 15 years old, she was young and tended the sheep, and her family prevented her from fasting. Now she is 52 years old, suffers from high blood pressure, suffers from bone fragility, and gets tired from fasting. What is required of her, O Shaykh? This is the first question. The second question—wait, the Shaykh will answer this question, please go ahead, O Shaykh.

Answer:
She is required to make up the fasts, the months she did not fast after she reached puberty. After she reached puberty, meaning menstruation occurred for her, or she turned fifteen years old, or she menstruated; these are the signs of a woman reaching puberty. If she left fasting Ramadan, or part of it, after she reached puberty, then she is required to make it up. Even if this was a long time ago, the obligation to make it up remains in her liability. She is required to do two things: make up the fasts and feed one poor person for every day, as expiation for the delay. Yes.
