Assalaamu alaykum. I pray that Ramadaan is going well and that Allah rewards you highly. My question is related to fasting. When I was young, I did not know about Fidyah (ransom), Kaffaarah (expiation), and so on. I was 10 or 11 years old. I cannot remember the exact age. I had not had my menses yet, but I may have had one of the other signs of puberty,.. More

Some compensatory fasts of Ramadan are due on me. I would like to fast them but, out of laziness, I have not removed the hair which should be removed from my body. I tried to remove it many times, but I feel lazy and find it difficult. Will my fast be invalid if I do it without removing this hair?

Both a compensatory fast and the fasting of oath expiation are due on me.
