Question:
A man died in last Ramadan, and due to the severity of his illness and his advanced age, he was unable to fast, and he did not feed anyone on his behalf. His question is: Are his sons now required to fast that month on his behalf?
Answer:
If he broke his fast due to illness and died of that same illness, he owes nothing. Yes.
