The ruling on fasting on behalf of one who died during Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My brother was involved in an accident on the fifteenth of Ramadan, so should I fast the rest of Ramadan on his behalf?
Answer:
His brother died. He owes nothing. If a person dies during Ramadan, no one is required to fast on his behalf, because he did not have any fasting to make up until it was performed on his behalf. This only applies to making up missed fasts. If he had missed fasts from a previous Ramadan, it is permissible to make them up on his behalf. As for the Ramadan in which he died, his deeds are cut off, so no one fasts on his behalf. Yes.
