The questioner : My mother passed away twenty years ago, and she did not fast the entire month of Ramadan due to the circumstances of childbirth. I am now confused: is it obligatory for me to make up this month? And is there an expiation, and would that be done on her behalf?
The Shaykh : It has not become clear to me from the question whether the woman made up the fast or not? And was she in a state where recovery was not expected, so she fed people, or not? Since we do not know, the original state is that the conscience is clear, and we are not obligated to act on behalf of another. But if he wishes to fast on her behalf and intends that, if she neglected an obligation, then it is on her behalf; otherwise, it is voluntary, and there is no blame on him, if Allah wills.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O honorable Shaykh. This is a questioner for the program who says.
