The questioner:
Another question was received from one of the brothers, who says: My father was ill for the entire month of Ramadan, and on the day of the festival he was admitted to the hospital and passed away (may Allah have mercy on him). Do we, the children, have any obligation regarding making up the fast?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says: His father was ill during Ramadan. The question? Yes. Yes. Their father, O Shaykh, was ill during Ramadan, and on the day of the festival he was admitted to the hospital and passed away. Do they have to make up the fast of Ramadan for their father?
The Shaykh:
No, because he was unable to make it up. He died of his illness; he broke his fast because of the illness and died in it. He owes nothing. Yes.
