The questioner:
Please, Muhammad, come to the microphone. Peace be upon you, Muhammad. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. And Allah, Abu al-Khayr. Welcome. May Allah keep you safe. Please. Shaykh. Your question, Muhammad, please. I have a question, may Allah preserve you, Shaykh. Yes, the first one. The first one: my father (may Allah have mercy on him) passed away about a year ago. He fasted one day of Ramadan, and after that he became ill and could not fast, and then he passed away (may Allah have mercy on him). I do not know what is required of me. I calculated forty-five bags for sixty poor people and gave them to poor people immediately. I do not know what is required of me. You are the second son. Okay, listen to the answer.
The Shaykh:
If he left off fasting because of illness and the illness continued with him until he died, then he owes nothing. But if he left off fasting because of illness and then Allah healed him, he must make up what he owes. And if he died before making it up, it is made up for him; his guardian makes it up for him, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Riyad as-Salihin 1858 Yes.
The questioner:
The second question, Muhammad, and turn the television down a little, Muhammad. Turn the television down. Of course, he was ill and could not fast, meaning he only fasted one day of Ramadan.
The Shaykh:
But did he die from the illness he was in? Yes, yes, he died from the illness. He died immediately. He was given a period and then he died (may Allah have mercy on him). He owes nothing, my brother.

صام عنه وليه،The questioner:
