Is it necessary to make up for the fasting days of the past Ramadan, considering having performed ghusl and fasted after six days of menstruation, which normally lasts eight days, with a trace remaining after ghusl that was unclear whether it was blood or a yellowish discharge, and not having performed ghusl for the rest of the month due to menstruation not having resumed? And is the fasting of the month invalidated due to ignorance of the necessity of performing ghusl after masturbation four months ago, and what prayers and fasting days must be made up?

If a menstruating woman purifies herself before Fajr and intends to fast, her fast is valid, even if she delays ghusl. But if she does not purify herself until after Fajr, she must make up that day. Anything she sees after purification is not menstruation unless it is certain, and she only needs to perform wudu'. As for abandoning prayer for two years, it is more prudent to make them up. Masturbation does not invalidate the fast, and there is no need to make up prayers because of it, as ghusl is not required for it according to the opinion of Shaykh al-Islam. The fast is valid, and there is no need for قضية (making it up); because purity from janabah is not a condition for its validity.
