Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister questioner, Umm 'Adil, mentions that she stayed with her mother during Ramadan last year. Her mother was fasting one day and breaking her fast the next due to her illness, even though she was a righteous woman. She then passed away on the twenty-fifth of Ramadan. She says: I want to be dutiful to my mother and fast the days she missed while in the hospital.
Answer:
Yes, if she left fasting because of illness, then it is obligatory for her to make up the fasts. If she died before making them up, and you want to clear her debt as a form of being dutiful to her, then there is no harm in doing so. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
