Must a girl who has not yet reached the age of puberty, but has shown signs of it, make up for the Ramadan fasts she missed, and should she be woken for Fajr prayer despite suffering from severe illness and pain that affect her sleep, in addition to the problem of involuntary urination?

If a girl reaches puberty, she is obligated to make up for the fasts she missed in due to a valid excuse. If it was without a valid excuse, she must repent, seek forgiveness, and also make up for the fasts. She is also obligated to perform the Fajr prayer at its prescribed time, like all other prayers, and it is not permissible for her to deliberately delay it. However, if she takes the necessary means to wake up but does not wake until after the time for the prayer has elapsed, then there is no sin upon her.
