A man suffering from diabetes issued a fatwa to himself to break his fast during Ramadan, and he has died. Do his awliya (close friends of Allah) make up the fast for him, or is it left?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man passed away without fasting for two years of Ramadan. He left off fasting on the excuse that he was ill with diabetes, without consulting a doctor. It appears to us that he was capable, because he was the one who issued a fatwa to himself to leave off fasting for two years. Their question is: Do his awliya (close friends of Allah) make up the fast for him, or does he feed on his behalf, or is it left?

Answer:
The best is that they fast on his behalf. If they are unable to fast or if it is difficult for them, they feed on his behalf one poor person for every day.
