Is it obligatory to make up prayers and fasts for the years during which signs of puberty appeared before menstruation, given the ignorance of their obligation? Is expiation (kaffarah) obligatory in addition to making up for the years in which masturbation was practiced during the daytime in Ramadan due to ignorance of the ruling, given the lack of funds, and is it permissible to take money from one's father to pay the expiation?
You must make up for the prayers and fasts you missed when you were unaware of puberty; making them up is more precautionary. As for masturbation, if you were ignorant that it invalidates the fast, then there is no make-up or expiation due upon you.
