Fasting as Expiation on Behalf of the Deceased

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. One of the brothers says: My father died in a car accident, and he had a fasting expiation for intercourse that he owed. Should we fast on his behalf?

Answer:
If you fast on his behalf, that is an act of dutifulness toward him and clears his conscience, and you will receive reward from Allah for it, if Allah wills. Yes.
