Is fasting taken from a person's good deeds on the Day of Resurrection to settle injustices?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person is reckoned on the Day of Resurrection, are his good deeds taken? He says: If a person is reckoned on the Day of Resurrection, and his good deeds are taken, and if he has no good deeds, are the sins of others placed upon him, except for fasting, which remains for the person and does not go away from him?

Answer:
It is reported in the hadith that if a person comes with righteous deeds and has injustices against people, the wronged parties are compensated from his good deeds. If his good deeds are exhausted and some of the injustices remain, the sins of the wronged parties are taken and placed upon him, and he is thrown into the Fire. This is in the hadith.
As for fasting, Allah said: Fasting is for Me, and I will reward it.وأما الصوم فإن الله قال الصوم لي وأنا أجزيه
They said that the meaning of this, or one of its meanings, is that Allah does not allow the creditors to take the fasting, but He reserves it for the one who fasts.
