A boy reached puberty at the age of 13 through wet dreams but was unaware that this was a sign of maturity. As a result, he did not fast during Ramadan and only realized this two years later. Is he required to make up for the missed fasts? Is there a penalty for delaying the fast?

Regarding the missed fasting due to ignorance of reaching puberty:
1) He is not required to make up for the fasts missed during the time he was unaware of his maturity, as he was not accountable for his actions during that period.
2) There is no penalty for delaying the fasts since he was not aware of the obligation to fast.
