Making up a day of fasting from Ramadan on behalf of a deceased father

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is Umm Rayan. She says: My father passed away, and he had one day of the blessed month of Ramadan remaining. May I make up this day for my father?

The Shaykh:
Yes, you make it up for him. The questioner is a woman.

The questioner:
Yes, Umm Rayan.

The Shaykh:
Yes, she should make it up. It is recommended for her to make up this day for her father. If he had broken his fast that day due to illness, recovered from it, and was able to make it up but did not, then you make it up for him to clear his conscience. However, if he left off fasting due to illness and died without being able to make it up, then he owes nothing. Yes.
