I am 24 years old, and I owe many days when I broke the fast in Ramadanand I have not fasted them. What I mean is: I did not fast due to circumstances for 8 days each year from the age of 12 to the age of 24. And I swore many vows to Allah, saying that I would never do that again, but I did not fast. I am in poor health and fasting exhausts me. I am able to fast Ramadan but I do notknow what I should do with regard to the days I owe, and I do not have any income with which tofeed the poor; my family are the ones who spend on me. I hope you can help me. I worked it out and found that I have to offer more than 100 fasts other than in Ramadan, and this is very difficult for me because of my health.
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
You should realize that Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has enjoined fasting Ramadan upon Hisslaves, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)”
[al-Baqarah 2:183].
And He has forbidden not fasting, except for those who have legitimate shar‘i excuses, such as those who are sick, travellers and menstruating women. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of themeaning):
“and whoever is ill or on ajourney, the same number(of days which one did not observe Sawm (fasts) must be made up) from other days”
[al-Baqarah 2:185].
Secondly:
It is not clear from your question what the excuse is for which you have stopped fasting in Ramadan, but one of two scenarios must apply:
1. That it is because of alegitimate shar‘i excuse such as menses, sickness, travel and the like, for which Allah has permitted breaking the fast. In that case there is no sin on youfor not fasting, because it is breaking the fast for a legitimate reason according to sharee‘ah. But you should have made up those days and not delayed it until the next Ramadan came without you having madeup what you owed from the previous Ramadan.
Based on that, you have to repent from what you have done and make up those days that are required from you. They do not have to be done consecutively; you can divide them however you want so that it will not betoo difficult for you. You also have to feed one poor person for each day, because you delayed making up the days you owed until the next Ramadan came. If you do not have anything with which to feed poor persons or to offer as expiation, then you do not have to do anything.
2. That there was no legitimate shar‘i excuse for it, and it was carelessness or negligenceon your part. If a person breaks the fast in Ramadan deliberately, with no shar‘i excuse, then it must be one of two things:
(i) He did not fastat all on one or more daysduring Ramadan, so he did not start to fast in the first place. In this case he is sinning by not fasting, and he has to repent but he does not have to makeit up according to some ofthe scholars, because if a person deliberately delaysacts of worship that are connected to a particular time until that time is over, Allah will never accept them, and there is no benefit in making them up. What he has to do is repent from what hedid of transgressing the limits set by Allah, may Hebe glorified and exalted. All he has to do is repent sincerely and do a lot of good and righteous deeds.
(ii) He started to fast one day in Ramadan, then broke the fast duringthe day, deliberately and with no excuse. In this case, he has to repent to Allah and make up that day.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy onhim) was asked about theruling on breaking the fast during the day in Ramadan with no excuse.
He replied:
Breaking the fast during the day in Ramadan with no excuse is a major sin and the one who does that is regarded as a faasiq (rebellious evildoer). He has to repentto Allah and make up thatday. That is, if he starts to fast and during the day hebreaks the fast with no excuse, then he has incurred sin, and he has tomake up that day when he broke the fast, becausewhen he started it, it became binding upon himto complete it, and he started it on the basis thatit was obligatory. Therefore he has to make it up, like a vow.
But if he deliberately did not fast at all with no excuse, then the more correct view is that he does not have to make it up, because it will not benefit him at all, as it will never be accepted from him. The basic principle with regard to the act of worship that is connected to a specific time is that if it is delayeduntil that specific time hasended with no excuse, it will not be accepted, because :->

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

the travellers should appoint someone as their amir whom they will
obey.
961. Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "The best [number] of companions is four, and
the best of expeditions is 400 and the best of armies is 4000.12,000
Muslims will not be defeated for lack of numbers."

Bride-Price / Dowry for a poor man
blessings and Peace be upon him] and said: "Oh! Messenger of Allah! I
do not have a husband and I want to be a good wife; i give myself to
you."
The Messenger of Allah [PBUH] kept silent for a long while.
Suddenly, a man who waspresent stood up and asked if the woman would
accept him for a husband.
The Messenger of Allah [PBUH] said: "Do you haveanything to give her
as a dowry."
The man thought and said: "I have half of my cloth," and indeed he was
wearing a single cloth around him.
"If you give her part of this cloth, you will have nothing to wear
anymore;it will become her possession. Find something else." Since at
this time the followers of Islam and the Prophet himself [PBUH] were
poor,the man thought again a long time and declared:"No, I do not
possess a thing to give her."
The Messenger of Allah then told him: "Go to yourhouse and look for
something, even if it is an iron ring."
The man departed and came back a while later, and declared: "I looked
everywhere, but I did not find anything to give her as her dowry."
After reflection, the Prophet of Allah [PBUH]said: "Did you learnsome
of the Qur'an?"
"Yes, I have learned by heart so-and-so Surahs [chapters of the Qur'an]"
The Messenger of Alah [PBUH] therefore declared:"Teach her what you
know of the Qur'an, and this will constitute her dowry."
The couple felt contented with what was proposed, and they got married.

The miracle at the spring of Tabuk
[PBUH=May Allah bless him and grant him Peace],and the Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) prayed Dhur and 'Asr together.
Then he said, "Tomorrow we will meet, Insha Allah, at the spring of
Tabuk. Do not go there until well into the morning. You should not
touch the water until i arrive." We all agreed and, the day after, we
all gathered at the spring of Tabuk. But, when we got there, two men
had already reached it before us and the springwas dripping with very
little water.
The Messenger of Allah [PBUH] approached and asked them: "Did you
touche this water?" They said: "Yes, we did." "Take water with your
hands from the spring little by little until you have collected a
small amount in something." When this was done, the Messenger of Allah
[PBUH] washed his face and hands on it. Then he put it back into the
spring and the spring began to flow with abundant water, and the
people began to draw water from it. Then he said [PBUH): "If you live
long enough, you will see this place full with gardens."
