Question:
What is the ruling on one who neglected the expiation for killing and is now unable to fast? Is it fasted on his behalf?
Answer:
The one who neglected the expiation for killing by fasting until he became unable to fast is in error; he is in error. The expiation remains a debt in his liability. If he is able to fast before his death, he fasts. If he dies without having fasted, it is fasted on his behalf. As long as he is alive, it is not fasted on his behalf; it remains in his liability. If he is able, he fasts. If he dies, it is fasted on his behalf.
