Making up the fast of Ramadan for a sick person who died afterward
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man says: In Ramadan, he was sick and could not fast, then he died immediately after Ramadan. Does he have to make up Ramadan?
Answer:
If the illness continued with him and he was unable to fast, and it continued until his death, then it is not made up on his behalf. But if Allah cured him and he was able to make it up, yet he did not make it up and then died, it is made up on his behalf, because the obligation to make it up had become established upon him. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
