Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. A woman did not fast in Ramadan due to an illness expected to end, so she died before making up the fast. Do her relatives feed a poor person on her behalf for each day?
Answer:
Either feeding or making up the fast is required on her behalf, unless she was able to make up the fast after Ramadan but did not. In that case, the expiation is obligatory for her, or the fast is made up on her behalf. But if she was unable to make up the fast after Ramadan and died, she owes nothing. However, if someone wants to fast on her behalf as a precaution, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
