Question:
Honorable Shaykh, my father passed away and he fasted half of the blessed month of Ramadan. He was suffering from an illness that was not expected to end, and he died after Ramadan because of this illness. Now, should we make up the fast for him or feed the poor?
Answer:
He owes nothing, neither fasting nor feeding the poor, because as long as he broke his fast for the illness and it continued with him until he died, he owes nothing, and you are not required to make up the fast or feed the poor.
