The ruling on making up the fast of Ramadan on behalf of a deceased person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Muhammad Abu Bakr is a man who broke his fast in Ramadan due to illness, and he did not make up the days he missed, then he died. What is obligatory for his sons, who are his heirs?
Answer:
If he delayed making up the fast until after the following Ramadan without an excuse, it is obligatory for him to feed a poor person from his estate for every day. And if one of the Muslims or one of his relatives fasts on his behalf, then that suffices and is sufficient, with the permission of Allah. Yes.
