No making up of fasts and no feeding for one who died before the time for making up arrived

Question: What is the ruling on a person who was ill, Ramadan came upon him and he did not fast, and then he died after Ramadan? Does he make up the fasts on his behalf, or does he feed people on his behalf?

Answer: If a Muslim dies from his illness after Ramadan, there is no making up of fasts for him and no feeding; because he is excused by the Shari'ah. Likewise, if a traveler dies while traveling or immediately after arriving, it is not obligatory to make up the fasts for him or to feed people; because he is excused by the Shari'ah.
As for the one who recovered from the illness and was negligent in making up the fasts until he died, or the one who returned from travel and was negligent in making up the fasts until he died, it is prescribed for their awliya (close friends of Allah)—who are the relatives—to make up the fasts for them; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): It is agreed upon that it is authentic. If it is not possible to find someone to fast for them, they should feed from their estate, for each day, one poor person half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), which is approximately one and a half kilograms by estimation, like the old man who is unable to fast, and the sick person whose recovery is not expected.
Likewise, if a menstruating woman or a woman with post-natal bleeding is negligent in making up the fasts until they die, then one poor person should be fed for each day if it is not possible to find someone to fast for them. And whoever does not have an estate from which feeding can be done, he owes nothing; based on the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) : [al-Baqarah:286]. And His saying (Mighty and Majestic): [al-Taghabun:16]. And success is from Allah.
