There is a woman who has reached the age of sixty. She was unaware of the rulings on menstruation for many years, during her childbearing years. She did not make up the fasts that she missed in Ramadaan, thinking that she did not have to do so according to what she heard from the common folk.

I am a sixteen year old girl. My periods started when I was thirteen, but in that year I did not fast Ramadaan completely. I only fasted seven days, and my parents did not make me fast, because they thought that I was not accountable [to do so] .

Should I fast the days that I missed, or what should I do? Please advise me, may Allaah reward you with good.

I am a young woman of 25 years of age. From the time I was young until I was 21 years old, I did not fast or pray because I was lazy. My parents advised me to fast and pray but I did not pay any attention to them. What do I have to do, knowing that that Allaah has guided me, and now I fast and I regret what is past?

I would like to ask about what makes making up missed days of fasting in Ramadan as well as expiation obligatory? I have searched about the answer and found that there are two opinions:   1- Only intercourse requires making up missed day of fasting as well as expiating.

The evidence for this is known from the Sunnah.   2- Intercourse and also taking anything that reaches the stomach intentionally, makes making up missed days and expiating obligatory. I did not find an evidence for this from Quraan or Sunnah.  Please provide us with a detailed answer clarifying the evidence from Quraan and Sunnah.
