"Whoever embraces Islam in is not obligated to fast the days he missed from the month before his conversion. Rather, he only fasts the days he experiences after embracing Islam. It is also recommended for him to abstain from all things that break the fast for the remainder of the day he became Muslim, as stated by Al-Baji in 'Al-Muntaqa' and An-Nawawi in 'Al-Muhadhdhab'."
