The Blood That Lasts Less Than Three Days:
A nine-year-old girl had a small amount of blood, then after six months, she had a little again. Now she is twelve years old. Does this count as reaching puberty, and does she need to make up for Ramadan for the past two years?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If the previous blood lasted for three days, she is considered to have reached puberty, unless the doctor informed her that it was not the blood of puberty, in which case she is not considered to have reached puberty. If she is considered to have reached puberty, she must make up for the fasting and prayers that she missed. And God knows best.
