If one falls ill and then dies in Ramadan, is the fast made up on his behalf or is food given on his behalf?

The questioner : Please. Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.

The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Well, and all praise is due to Allah.

The questioner : If a person falls ill and the illness continues with him until Ramadan arrives, and then he dies in the month of Ramadan, does he need to be expiated for, or is the fast made up on his behalf, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and the Imam of the Pious, and upon his family and his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment. As long as the man has recovered from his illness, he should feed people on his behalf and not fast.

The questioner : Feed them.

The Shaykh : Yes, and no continuous fasting.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. May Allah preserve you. Yes.
