A person relied on the advice of a trusted doctor and did not fast during Ramadan, but later it became clear that the doctor was mistaken and that the person could have fasted. Is it necessary for them to make up the fast? Are they required to pay a compensation for the delay in making up the fast if years have passed before knowing the truth?
