Question:
My mother has been ill for twenty years. Ramadan came while she was sick, so she did not fast. When the following Ramadan arrived, she was on the verge of recovery, so she fasted. She did not remember the Ramadan she had not fasted until about a year ago, when she fasted it. Is her fasting valid? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, her fasting is valid, and she had to make up the missed fasts before the new Ramadan. But if she forgot, she owes nothing; she only has to make up the fasts, even if it is after another Ramadan, because forgetting is a valid excuse. May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah reward you.
