Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: My daughter fell ill and did not fast five days of Ramadan, and then she passed away. What is the expiation? And is it permissible for us to pay a sum, and how much is it estimated to be?
Answer:
If she left the fasting due to illness, and the illness continued with her until she died, and she was unable to make up the fasts, then she owes nothing. However, if she recovered and was able to make up the fasts, but she died before making them up, then they must be made up on her behalf. As for one who dies with fasting still owed, his guardian fasts on his behalf, as stated in the hadith. Yes.
