Ruling on a Woman Who Was Impure During Ramadan Without Knowing

Question

A girl was fasting during Ramadan and became impure (due to the release of moisture) but did not know how to identify the signs of impurity (reaching a point of pleasure and bodily fatigue). She thought at that time that she was not impure and continued to fast the remaining days without performing a ritual purification. Is she required to make up the fast? And is there a penalty to be paid? If so, what is the value of the penalty?

Answer 1

If a person becomes impure during Ramadan and is unaware of it, their fast is invalidated. They must make up the days they fasted while in that state of impurity. As for the penalty (kafara), it is not required in this case since the person was unaware of their impurity. The value of the penalty typically involves fasting for two consecutive months or feeding sixty needy people, but this does not apply here due to the lack of knowledge about their state.
