I have missed fasts due to school and my mother's influence, who sometimes lacks knowledge about Islam and sometimes doesn't act according to it encouraging me not to fast. What should I do in such situations?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You must keep Qadha Fast for every fast which you missed. If you deliberately broke or missed a fast, then you need to feed sixty poor believers for every missed day.

How do I gain knowledge without going to Hawza and what field of knowledge should I study first?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes. You can gain Islamic knowledge with out going to Hawza. There are many online courses and classes which you can attend from your own place. You can also request a local person who has studied Islamic knowledge to give you classes in your area.

First field which you may study is jurisprudence Fiqh فقه which teaches the day to day Islamic rules.
