The questioner : Shaykh Muhammad Salih. Yes.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. Shaykh, a girl reached puberty and did not fast, and more than five years have passed. It is possible, and now she is consistent in fasting. But the years that have passed are still remaining. Why did she not fast? Yes, why did she not fast? By Allah, it is possible, if Allah wills, that it was a trial, or due to ignorance. May Allah bless you, if it was due to ignorance. Yes. I mean, if she was in a place where there were no scholars around her, for example in the desert, then she owes nothing. And if she was unable to ask
The Shaykh : she wants to now.
The questioner : The question.
The Shaykh : Shall I repeat the question?
The questioner : Did you hear what I said just now?
The Shaykh : If it was due to ignorance. If it was due to ignorance.
The questioner : But not every kind of ignorance, but a woman in the desert, for example, in the open wilderness.
The Shaykh : Yes, in the open, she is.
The questioner : There were no scholars around them.
The Shaykh : There were no scholars around them, but now, praise be to Allah, she asked.
The questioner : Listen, may Allah bless you, but if she left off fasting without asking them, and she was in a desert where ignorance prevails, then she owes nothing, she owes no fasting,
The Shaykh : she owes no fasting, she owes nothing, may Allah reward you.
The questioner : If she was in a place where there were scholars but she was negligent in asking, then she must make up the fasts.
The Shaykh : The years that have passed, may Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh, peace be upon you.
