Ramadan at what age do you fast?

Answer 1

At the same age at which you begin praying which is immediately after puberty sets in.(11-13 years of age) younger if a female. But keep in mind if you are not physically or mentally stable enough to fast or your doctor doesn't recommend it then you should not be pressured into doing so.

Answer 2

A child is commanded to pray when he is seven years old, and should be lightly beaten for leaving it when he is ten years old, and it becomes obligatory for him when he attains puberty. Puberty is marked by the discharge of semen accompanied by sexual arousal, the growth of the coarse hair round the pubic area, wet dreams which lead to the discharge of semen, or reaching fifteen years of age. The same applies to the female, in addition to a fourth condition, that is, menstruation.The basic rule in this goes back to the narration of Ahmad and Abu Daawood on the authority of 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb from his father from his grandfather that he said that the Messenger of Allaah, , said: "Command your children to pray when they are seven years old, beat them for leaving it when they are ten years old, and separate their beds."It was narrated by Ahmad on the authority of 'Aa'ishah from the Messenger of Allaah, , that he said: "The pen (of writing deeds) is lifted from three (types of persons): from the sleeping person until he wakes, from the child until he attains puberty and from the one afflicted by insanity until he becomes sane."The same was narrated by him on the authority of 'Ali . It was also narrated by Abu Daawood and At-Tirmithi who said that it is Hasan (good).Permanent Committee of Fatwa, Fatwa no. 1787
