Question:
May Allah reward you. Shaykh, what about a person who does not know whether he fasted at the beginning of his youth or not? Is he entitled to make up what he missed, or is he hesitant now? Is he, O Shaykh Salih?
Answer:
If this is a matter of obsessive doubts and intrusive thoughts, then he should not pay attention to them. However, if it is a fact that he did not fast Ramadan in past Ramadans, then it is obligatory for him to make it up. Yes.
