What is obligatory upon the guardians of a woman who died with twelve months of fasting remaining?

The questioner:
I have two questions. First, my mother did not fast Ramadan for twelve months. She was paralyzed and lying in bed, and we fed her through a tube from above. We do not know what we should do or what we have to pay as expiation.

The Shaykh:
If she is unable to fast, neither in its proper time nor by making it up, you feed a poor person for each day the amount of one and a half kilograms of food for every day.

The questioner:
She passed away. May Allah have mercy on her, forgive her, and settle her in the gardens of Paradise.

The Shaykh:
Yes, but she has fasting remaining, you say.

The questioner:
She has twelve months of fasting remaining; she was lying in bed.

The Shaykh:
You feed on her behalf. May Allah keep you safe. One and a half kilograms for each day. One and a half kilograms for each day.

The questioner:
That means for thirty days, you give one and a half kilograms for each day.

The Shaykh:
One kilogram? How much? Forty-five kilograms for the month. Forty-five kilograms for the month. Yes.
