A man died in the month of Ramadan due to an illness and did not complete his fasting. Is it to be fasted on his behalf, or what is the ruling?

Question:
A man was ill in the month of Ramadan with a painful ailment that afflicted him, and he did not complete his fasting. Is it to be fasted on his behalf? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
No one is to be held accountable for this. The matter is overwhelming; death is the norm for people. If a person dies and he had not completed his fasting, but rather he fasted until his term or illness came upon him, then there is no making up of fasts for him, neither for a relative nor for a non-relative. This is based on the statement of the Exalted and Majestic: “And [for] those who are able [to fast, but are ill or traveling]—then [an equal number of] other days.” As for the one whose term comes upon him while he is fasting, there is no making up of fasts for him. Likewise, if an illness continues with him after the fast and he is unable to make up the fasts, there is no making up of fasts for him.
