Making up the fast of Ramadan on behalf of a deceased sick person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My father passed away several years ago. Before his death, his health was poor. He fasted part of Ramadan and broke his fast for part of it due to his illness. Then he passed away. He asks: Do we make up for him the days he did not fast?
Answer:
If he died from the illness for which he left off fasting, then it is not made up for him. However, if he recovered and was healed, but delayed making up the fast until he died, then it is made up for him, because it became a debt upon him.
