Question:
I found something: a man killed [someone] by mistake, and a great number of souls was upon him, and he did not deny the religion, and he died. Is it permissible to seek forgiveness for him again?
Answer:
If the killing was by mistake, then expiations are upon him for the number of souls. If he has wealth, he frees slaves from his wealth for the number of expiations. If he has no wealth, then if one of his relatives fasts for him, or they share the burden, each one of them fasts an expiation. Each person fasts one of the expiations that are upon him. That benefits him and suffices for him. The saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)Riyad as-Salihin 1858, this covers fasting for expiation and fasting for a vow. Yes. Fasting Ramadan, yes.

If a person dies without observing Saum (fasts), his Wali should make it up on his behalf.
