The ruling on making up the fast of Ramadan on behalf of a deceased person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, if a fasting Muslim dies and does not complete the fast of the month of Ramadan, do the relatives have to fast, or make up the fast for him, or feed people on his behalf?
Answer:
If he died from his illness, if he left off fasting due to illness and died from that illness, then he owes nothing, he owes nothing, no feeding and no making up, because he died from the illness for which he left off fasting, so the excuse continued with him until he died. As for if he recovered after Ramadan and was able to fast, but he was lazy until he died, then the fast is made up for him, the fast is made up for him because it is a debt in his liability, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
