The ruling on making up the fast of a deceased brother before making up one’s own fast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: My brother passed away during Ramadan and he had missed fasts to make up, and I also had missed fasts to make up. So I made up my brother’s fasts before making up my own. Is there any harm in that?
Answer:
There is no harm in that, because the time for making up missed fasts is extended. However, if your brother died during the month, and he died during his illness, then he owes nothing. But if he had missed fasts from a previous Ramadan, and you made them up on his behalf, that is good, and you have fulfilled the obligation on his behalf. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
