A person died with missed fasts from Ramadan remaining; who fasts on his behalf?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My grandfather passed away after Ramadan, and he had missed fasts to make up. Should the days he did not fast be fasted on his behalf? Who is to perform these fasts? And can the days be divided among the relatives?
Answer:
We do not know about his leaving the fast and his death afterward: did the illness for which he left the fast continue with him until he died? If so, he owes no make-up fasts. Or did he recover and be healed, and another Ramadan came upon him without him making up the fasts without an excuse? In that case, the fasts remain a debt in his record, and if any of his relatives or others fast on his behalf, his record is cleared.
