The questioner:
A Turk from Makkah, please, Turk. Turk, if you please, just lower the television volume a bit; I have some interference. Please go ahead. Fine, fine. Please, Turk. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Shaykh Salih, I have two important questions. Please, but lower the television a little, Turk. Fine, fine. Fine, fine. Let’s go. The first question is for us; we have a relative who had something happen to him. I didn’t lower the television now, in… A year. Yes, yes. And he paid the blood money and everything. And he says he is unable to fast two consecutive months. Because they are two deceased persons. Fine. And now he is seventy years old. Fine. Thank you, thank you. We will suffice with this question.
The Shaykh:
You say that your father has passed away. And an accident happened to him, and two people died with him, is this the question?
The presenter:
Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
If he has passed away, then this matter remains a debt in his estate. But if you wish to clear his estate and fast the expiation of two months on his behalf for each soul, then that is a good thing, and it is dutifulness to your father. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
