What is the Shariah ruling on making up the fasting days that a mother missed and did not make up, and she forgot their number, knowing that she is well-off but her expenses go to medicine? And what is the ruling on the fasting of a daughter who missed days and forgot their number, and she is unemployed? And will a mother's stealing from her husband's money to meet the needs of the house and children lead her to Hellfire?

As for the days that the mother did not make up, she is obligated to make them up if she is able, and expiation (fidya) is not sufficient for her. She must ascertain the number of days to make them up with certainty or a strong presumption.

Similarly, the questioner must make up the days of Ramadan that she missed. These days are a debt upon her conscience that can only be cleared by making them up. If she is unable to ascertain the number with certainty, then she should estimate and make up what she believes is most likely to clear her conscience.

The expiation for delaying making up the days is only binding on someone who was aware of the prohibition of delaying. If both the mother and the questioner were ignorant of the ruling, then expiation is not binding on them; only making up the days is required.

If the mother's illness prevents her from making up the days and her recovery is not expected, then she must feed a poor person for each day she missed and did not make up, with one mudd of food (approximately 750 grams of rice).

As for the mother taking money from the father, if it was for basic necessities, there is no sin upon her. But if it was for purposes other than the obligatory expenditure, then she is sinful and must seek his forgiveness or return what she took.
