Ignorance of the Expiation for Breaking the Fast in Ramadan
A woman deliberately broke her fast in Ramadan years ago, and she did not know that she had to make an expiation; she thought she only had to make up the fast. What are the consequences for her now?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Ignorance of the ruling does not invalidate it, and the expiation remains, which is fasting for sixty days, and God knows best.
