Is fasting made up for someone who fell ill and died before being able to make up the missed fasts?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your question, Abu Juwan Sam. Shaykh, my grandfather suffered a stroke and was unable to fast or pray. He passed away, may Allah have mercy on him, and we fasted on his behalf. Does that suffice for him? What is it? Does it suffice for him, meaning where is the fasting that he...? The question is clear. Thank you, Abu Juwan. Thank you.

Answer:
If the stroke continued with him, and he had no awareness, and he did not know anything until he died, then he owes nothing, praise be to Allah. Yes.
