What is the ruling on a girl taking photos while menstruating, being ignorant of the ruling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the effect of ignorance regarding the obligation of making up missed fasts? It is known that many families do not inform their daughters of these matters, so the girls grow up without knowledge of them. This is the case with schools.
The Shaykh : This questioner points to a matter that requires attention: some girls begin menstruating at a young age and fast with their families, even during their periods, without making up the days of menstruation. A year, two years, or three years pass without them making up the days of menstruation. Then, they later learn that making up the fasts is obligatory upon them, so they make up one, two, or three years, having delayed the making up without knowledge. The truth is that this is ignorance on the part of the girl and her guardians. It was incumbent upon her and her guardians to be straightforward and teach her what she did not know. However, if such a thing happens and a girl asks us, saying that she started menstruating at the age of twelve, and that she continued to fast during her periods in her twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth years, and that in her fifteenth year, when she reached this age, she informed her family that she had been menstruating for three years and that she had not made up any fasts during this entire period. We say that it is obligatory for her now to make up all the past years. If she menstruated for seven days in the first year, she makes up seven days for the first year, seven days for the second, and seven days for the third. This is what is obligatory upon her, based on the statement of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) when she was asked:Mishkat al-Masabih 2032 in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so we were ordered to make up the fast but not ordered to make up the prayer.
It is not obligatory for her in this case; it is not obligatory for her to feed people along with the fasting. This is because Allah only made it obligatory for the one who missed Ramadan due to an excuse to make up the fasts. And the one who was sick or traveling is [given] a number of other days. If something had been obligatory along with the making up, Allah the Exalted would have specified it in His Book, or His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would have specified it. However, some scholars say that if one delays the making up until after the second Ramadan without an excuse, it is obligatory for him to feed a poor person for each day along with the making up.
