Making up the fast of the deceased due to her illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, an elderly woman fell ill during one of the Ramadans and did not fast that month. She passed away shortly after, and this was several years ago. Her children now want to fast on her behalf for that month, which is one month. Is that permissible for them?
Answer:
If she broke her fast because of the illness and died from that same illness without being able to make up the fast, then she owes nothing. However, if she was able to make up the fast after Ramadan but delayed and did not hasten to do so until she died and another Ramadan had begun, then they should fast on her behalf. Yes.
