Making up the days the deceased missed in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. This questioner, Ibrahim Muhammad from Riyadh, says: My father fell seriously ill during the month of Ramadan, where he broke his fast for fourteen days of the month. My father (may Allah have mercy on him) passed away and did not make up these days. I know that my mother, my brother, and one of my relatives fasted fifteen days on his behalf. Is this correct, meaning the extra day?
Answer:
If he broke his fast because of illness, and the illness continued with him until he died, and he was unable to make up the fasts, then he owes nothing. However, their fasting on his behalf will benefit him, if Allah wills. Yes.
