The Ruling on Fasting on Behalf of a Deceased Person for a Vow
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadithRiyad as-Salihin 1858, the thing I know is that it is applied to fasting for a vow, but one of the scholars mentioned on the program that it is fasting for Ramadan, is this correct?
Answer:
Yes, this is correct. If a person dies and he has fasting owed to him, in the narration: "If a person dies and he has fasting owed to him, his guardian fasts on his behalf." And because a woman came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or a man came to him and informed him that his father had fasting owed to him, he said: "If he had a debt, would you have paid it?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Pay off the debt to Allah, for Allah has more right to be paid off." It is necessary to understand this, and that if a person dies and he has fasting owed to him, his guardian fasts on his behalf. Yes.

If a person dies without observing Saum (fasts), his Wali should make it up on his behalf.
