The ruling on making up fasts for a deceased person who was negligent in fasting and left off some of the prayers

The questioner:
Yes. Please, Sister Umm Sulayman from Riyadh, go ahead. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings. I say, O Shaykh, my daughters are fasting for their deceased father. He was negligent; he did not fast, meaning he would break his fast during Ramadan. Is this permissible, or is it charity, or how is it?

The Shaykh:
Was he praying? Was he consistent in his prayer?

The questioner:
By Allah, by Allah, it is obligatory, to be honest.

The Shaykh:
I mean, he would miss some of the prayers.

The questioner:
Yes, by Allah, he would leave two, and he would leave them.

The Shaykh:
And he died in that state and did not repent?

The questioner:
By Allah, well, he would pray sometimes at home, sometimes on Friday, sometimes, sometimes.

The Shaykh:
No, I mean, does he abandon the prayer entirely, or do you mean he does not pray with the congregation?

The questioner:
No, he does not pray with the congregation even once.

The Shaykh:
But he does not abandon the prayer.

The questioner:
The one who abandons it, by Allah, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Deliberately.

The questioner:
No, I mean, no.

The Shaykh:
Yes, no fasting is made up for him, and no deeds benefit him.

The questioner:
Charity and such.

The Shaykh:
In that state, may Allah protect us, and no charity, and nothing, and no seeking of forgiveness for him.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
