Question:
May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. The sister Hasanah Abdul Raziq says: A woman passed away from a serious illness, may Allah protect us and you. She was fasting in the month of Ramadan, and the doctor prevented her from fasting because she could not tolerate fasting for five days. She passed away without making up the days. Is it obligatory for any of her relatives to feed poor people on her behalf for each day she did not fast, now after her death, to settle her debt from Ramadan?
Answer:
May Allah forgive her. She exerted herself and fasted, and we hope for her reward and recompense. However, the remaining days after her death are not obligatory upon her. As for if she had broken her fast for days before her death, and a period of time passed without her making them up, then she must feed one poor person for each day. And if one of her relatives wishes to fast for her the days that passed during her illness without her fasting them, then if he makes them up for her, that is better and more cautious for her. Yes.
