Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! My father (may Allah have mercy on him and grant him Paradise) was ill for four years, struck by paralysis,And on one day, while we were in Ramadan, he said: saying, "My son, take me out of the house," so I took him out, then I brought him back to his bed before he reached it, and he said: "My son, is there lunch?"I said: "Father, are you fasting or have you broken your fast?"He said: "No, I am fasting."I said: "If you are hungry, shall I order my family to prepare lunch for you?"He said: "No, my son, I am able to endure it."I said: "There is only one hour left, nothing more," "so can you endure it? I do not want to break your fast, and I do not want to deprive you of food," he said: "No," "I can endure it," so I brought him back to his bed, and after I placed him on his bed, I went to fetch water, then the Maghrib adhan was called, and we sat down for the iftar, and my nephew came to me and said: "The gray hair 'wasalan'?" The Shaykh: What does "wasalan" mean? The questioner: It means: he is on the verge of death, so I left the iftar and returned to him, and I found him not knowing who was leaving and who was coming, and he remained in this state until the night of the festival, and on the night of the festival he passed away.
The Shaykh: From when?The questioner: He fasted all of Ramadan until the eighteenth day, and he was fasting, but the illness overtook him after the eighteenth day, so he died on the night of the festival. Is there anything upon me when he asked for lunch?
No, there is nothing upon you, and you must feed one poor person for each of the twelve days.
