Not Being Able to Fast at the Beginning of Maturity<\/span> 9. What is the ruling for those girls who have recently reached maturity and find it somewhat difficult to fast? Is nine years the age when girls become mature? 10. A nine-year old girl, upon whom it is obligatory to fast, breaks her fast because fasting is too hard for her. Does she have to perform the qad\u0323\u0101\u2019 of the fast? 11. I did not fast after reaching the age of maturity until I was twelve years old, because I was physically too weak to do so. What should I do now in this regard? 12. A person, at the outset of the age of shar\u2018\u012b puberty, is not able to fast due to physical weakness and inability. Is it enough for him to perform the qad\u0323\u0101\u2019 of the fast, or he is required to offer the kaff\u0101rah as well?

\n8. A young girl has reached the age of shar\u2018\u012b puberty. However; she cannot fast in the month of Ramadan due to her weak constitution. She is also unable to perform the qad\u0323\u0101\u2019 of the missed days of fasting until the next Ramadan. What is the ruling in this situation?\u00a0
\u00a0 A: Not being able to fast nor to observe its qad\u0323\u0101\u2019 does not remove its obligation of performing the qad\u0323\u0101\u2019 for the missed fasts just because of weakness and inability. Rather, the qad\u0323\u0101\u2019 of the missed days of fasting in Ramadan will remain obligatory for her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nA: As famous, the legal age of maturity for girls starts at the completion of nine lunar years, hence it is obligatory for them to fast. It is not permissible to forsake fasting due to some excuse. However, if fasting becomes harmful for them or involves unbearable hardship, it is permissible for them to break the fast.<\/p>\n
\nA: Yes, she has to perform the qad\u0323\u0101\u2019 of the Ramadan fast that she broke.<\/p>\n
\nA: You should perform the qad\u0323\u0101\u2019 for the days of fasting that you did not perform after becoming ritually mature. And if you deliberately \u2014 voluntarily and without a shar\u2018\u012b excuse \u2014 did not fast, then you have to pay the kaff\u0101rah as well.<\/p>\n
\nA: If fasting does not cause unbearable hardship for him yet he breaks the fast intentionally, then he has to perform qad\u0323\u0101\u2019 and pay kaff\u0101rah as well. If he fears he may fall ill due to fasting, he is only\u00a0obligated to perform the qad\u0323\u0101\u2019 fasts<\/p>\n
