Question:
One of the others says that she is a woman who reached approximately thirteen years of age, and after reaching puberty, she remained for two years without fasting Ramadan, out of ignorance. So what should she do?
Answer:
She has to fast Ramadan. She has to fast the two years, along with repentance and seeking forgiveness. This is because Ramadan is well-known among the Muslims; it was her negligence and lack of concern. So she has to fast two months and feed a poor person for every day if she has the ability. As for if she is poor, fasting is sufficient for her and feeding is not obligatory upon her. As for if she has abundance, she feeds a poor person for every day half a meal. So she has to fast the two months of Ramadan for the two years, and she has to feed thirty sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for every month, three sa' of wheat, or dates, or rice, to be given to some of the poor. Even if it is given to one poor person or to one house of the poor, that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
