Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says that his grandfather passed away during the last ten days of Ramadan. He says his sister fasted on his behalf for the remaining days. Is that permissible for her, even though he did not bequeath that?
Answer:
He owes no fasting for the portion of Ramadan he did not reach and died before. So this is an independent legal reasoning that is not in its proper place. If she had asked before doing it, that would have been better for her. Yes.
