What is the expiation for the years that my friend did not fast, from the age of eighteen to twenty-five, due to an illicit relationship and sexual intercourse? Does she have to make up approximately 240 consecutive days without interruption? And does she have to feed 30 needy persons for each month as expiation for delaying the make-up?

The woman must repent and seek forgiveness for not fasting the days of Ramadan she missed in all the years she did not fast due to fornication. She is not obligated to make up these fasts consecutively. It is recommended for her to offer expiation as a precaution if she engaged in sexual intercourse. As for the expiation for delaying the make-up fasts, it is not binding on her if she was unaware of the prohibition of delaying them.
