A woman who broke her fast in Ramadan due to menstruation and did not make up what was required of her until the next Ramadan arrived: what is required of her?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for the woman who menstruates in Ramadan, if she breaks her fast and remains throughout the year without fasting,

The Shaykh : and does not make up what is required of her,

The questioner : and the next Ramadan arrives, is there, I mean...

The Shaykh : is it possible for her to make up the fasts after the second Ramadan has entered?

The questioner : Is there an expiation or not?

The Shaykh : An expiation?

The questioner : Yes, indeed.

The Shaykh : No, she must make up the fasts, because you are asking about the menstruating woman, and the menstruating woman does not owe an expiation; she only owes the making up of the fasts.

The questioner : Even if the year has passed?

The Shaykh : Even if years have passed! I mean, some opinions say that if the second Ramadan enters, the time for making up the fasts has passed, but this has no basis in the Sunnah, let alone in the Book.
Al-'Awaisheh: Regarding prayer, they, our Shaykh, left its time open, whereas for making up fasts, they restricted its time. I mean, some people in their understanding have spread the idea that there is an expiation or something regarding prayer. They left its time open; he can make it up whenever he wishes!

The Shaykh : Do you see, this is something strange.
