The questioner : The honorable Shaykh! A woman gave birth in Ramadan and has not fasted since, for twenty years, out of her ignorance?
The Shaykh : It is obligatory for her to fast now, and she owes nothing other than the fasting. As for this woman, the one who is in the state of post-natal bleeding who did not fast the entire month out of her ignorance, we say: She has committed no sin, but now she is required to fast, and she owes no expiation.
