Making up the days of fasting for a father who passed away while ill
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. My father fell ill during last Ramadan and missed three days at the end of it, then he passed away in that illness (may Allah have mercy on him). Am I required to make up these days, or to pay expiation for them?
Answer:
You are not required to make them up, nor to pay expiation, because as long as he died in his illness and did not recover, he is excused. Yes, Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
