Fasting on behalf of a deceased sister who has missed days of Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My sister passed away, and she had five days of Ramadan fasting to make up. Is it permissible for me to fast on her behalf, or should I pay an expiation?
Answer:
You fast on her behalf if a period of time passed and she did not make up the fasts, even though she was able to do so, but she delayed them out of laziness. In that case, you make them up for her. However, if she was ill and remained ill until she died, such that she was unable to make up the fasts, then she owes nothing. Yes.
