The ruling on making up the fast for one who died after another Ramadan had arrived

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man fell ill during Ramadan, and ten days of it remained for him. Then another Ramadan arrived, and he did not fast them because of his illness. He died after that. Is it required of his guardian to fast on his behalf?

Answer:
If he fell ill and remained in his illness until he died, or if it is known that he will not be able to make them up, then yes.
