Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, my sister passed away three years ago, and she had a fast of the month of Ramadan remaining. Please note that she died from the illness that prevented her from fasting. Do we have any obligation in this regard? And is it possible for me to perform 'Umrah on her behalf?
Answer:
If she left off fasting because she was unable to do so due to the illness, and it continued with her until she died, then she owes nothing, because she was excused, so she owes nothing.
