The answer

If the signs of puberty were not present when fasting was not observed, then no make-up fasting (qada') is required. However, if one of the signs of puberty was present, then the days that were not fasted must be made up, along with seeking forgiveness (istighfar), and no expiation () is due, according to the preponderant opinion.
