The answer

If someone doubts whether they missed a day of Ramadan, they are not required to make it up, based on the principle of the presumption of innocence. However, if your trustworthy brother informs you that you broke your fast on a certain day, and you predominantly believe him, then you must make up that day, unless you are certain you fasted it. In the event that a make-up fast is obligatory, only the make-up is required, and there is no expiation for forgetting.
