Question:
This sister says: A man owed days of fasting from last year's Ramadan, and his illness continued until this year's Ramadan began, but he did not fast then either, and he died at the end of the month. What is required of his children?
Answer:
If they wish to fast on his behalf to clear his conscience, that is a good thing. They should fast the days for him, and they will receive reward for it, and this will clear his conscience. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Riyad as-Salihin 1858. Yes.
