The ruling on one who falls ill in Ramadan and then dies afterward, being unable to fast or pray - Ibn

Question : He says: My mother fell ill at the beginning of Ramadan, and she continued fasting and praying until the sixth day of Ramadan. Her illness became severe, and she was admitted to the hospital on such-and-such day. She was unable to fast, and she did not pray either due to the severity of her illness, until Allah the Exalted took her soul on such-and-such day. Is it permissible to make up the fasting and prayer on her behalf? And is there any detail regarding this?

Answer : This woman who passed away, and whose illness continued until she died, owes no making up of fasts and no expiation. As for the prayer, it is not made up for the deceased at all; the prayer is never made up for the deceased.
As for fasting, it is made up for the deceased based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). This includes fasting in Ramadan, fasting for a vow, fasting as expiation, and others. So whoever dies with fasting owed to him, his guardian fasts on his behalf. However, it is not obligatory for him to fast on his behalf, because if we made it obligatory for him to fast on his behalf and he did not fast, he would be sinful for leaving the fasting on behalf of his guardian, and in that case, he would be burdened by leaving the fasting. This contradicts the saying of Allah the Exalted So if his guardian says, "I will not fast on his behalf," we tell him: Feed a poor person from his estate for every day he missed. This is regarding fasting. But when does this making up or this feeding take place? It takes place if the patient recovered and was healed for days during which he was able to fast but did not fast. This is the one for whom it is made up or for whom expiation is required. But if he fell ill in Ramadan or days before Ramadan, and the illness continued with him until he died, then it is not made up for him and no expiation is required for him, because fasting did not become obligatory upon him. Rather, Allah made it obligatory upon the patient for other days. So if the patient dies before he reaches those other days, he is like one who dies before Ramadan reaches him. He has died before the time of obligation, so it is not obligatory to make it up for him or to feed on his behalf. And we tell the brother questioner: It is not obligatory for you to make up anything for your mother, neither fasting nor prayer. But by the way, regarding the prayer, I would like to say that it is obligatory for the patient to pray, and he must not leave the prayer under any circumstances, even if he is unable to perform wudu, unable to perform tayammum, unable to wash his clothes, and unable to wash his bed. He must pray under any circumstances. Some patients may be deceived and say, "I am not able to perform wudu," or "I am not able to wash my clothes," or "I am not able to wash the bed under me." You find him delaying the prayer, saying, "Until Allah heals me." This is forbidden and not permissible. Rather, it is obligatory for him to pray the prayer under any circumstances: if he is able to stand, bow, and prostrate, he does so; otherwise, he prays sitting. If he is not able to signal with his head, he signals with his eyes, according to many scholars. If he is not able to do that, he prays with his heart.
