The ruling on one who dies with fasting days he missed due to travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: A young man, fifteen years old, went on a summer trip with his uncle for a week in Ramadan, and during this trip they did not fast. What is the ruling on that? Knowing that the aforementioned uncle has passed away, and I do not know whether he made up these days or not? And is it possible for his children to fast on his behalf? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
If they were travelers, travel permits breaking the fast. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:184], and they are required to make up the fast after that. And if this deceased person died with the obligation to make up the fast and did not make it up, then it is recommended for his children to fast on his behalf to clear his conscience. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, the choice of some people.
The Shaykh:
And if they do not fast on his behalf, they feed a poor person on his behalf for each day. Yes.

So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up].
