The ruling on a mother making up fasts on behalf of her deceased daughter

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh. Abu Naif from Riyadh. Please, my brother. May Allah do you good, our Shaykh. If you would allow me, just turn off the television for a moment and ask your question. Please. I say, peace be upon you, may Allah give you a good evening. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. May Allah give you a good evening, Shaykh Salih. May Allah give you a good evening. I have a question for the mother, may Allah preserve you. Her daughter, may Allah greet you, passed away a while ago, about two weeks ago, may you live long. She had days of Ramadan remaining. The mother, may Allah greet you, says: I want to make up these days for her. I want, may you live long, the ruling. Thank you, thank you, Abu Naif.

Answer:
Yes, may Allah reward her with good. She makes up the fasts for her, based on the hadith
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone dies in a state (that he had to complete) some fasts, his heir must fast on his behalf.من مات وعليه صيام صام عنه وليه
Sahih Muslim 1147
. So she makes up the days for her. This is part of her excellence toward her and clearing the deceased's obligation. Yes.
