What is the ruling on someone who became accustomed to masturbating and chatting on social media sites during Ramadan and outside of it, then repented, and owes days that he broke his fast in Ramadan by eating, drinking, or masturbating? How does he expiate for them? And what are the consequences of delaying the making up of these days? And is it obligatory to fast two consecutive months, and what is the ruling on the menstrual period in this case?

A woman who missed days in Ramadan is obligated to make them up, whether the fast was broken by masturbation or by eating and drinking. She is not required to offer expiation (kaffarah) or a compensatory payment (fidyah) for delaying the make-up fast due to her ignorance of its prohibition. She must sincerely repent of her sins.
