The ruling on making up the fast of a deceased woman for Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have a sister who passed away after leaving fifteen days of Ramadan that she did not fast. Do her children have to fast? And I say: I want to clear my sister’s obligation and fast the remaining fifteen days for her.
Answer:
If she was ill during Ramadan and died from that illness without being able to fast, she owes nothing, and it is not made up on her behalf because she owes nothing. However, if she fasted the days of Ramadan and then Allah took her, and she was able to make them up but died without making them up, then they are made up on her behalf, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Riyad as-Salihin 1858 Yes.

If a person dies without observing Saum (fasts), his Wali should make it up on his behalf.
من مات وعليه صوم صام عنه وليه.
