Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! A questioner says: Regarding children fasting on behalf of their father, and this father passed away on the first day of Ramadan last year, is this fasting accepted?
Answer:
He owes no fasting. This is the one who died on the first day and did not reach the month; he died before the month began. He owes no fasting, so no one fasts on his behalf. It would have been better for them if they had asked before fasting. Yes.
