One who dies during the month is relieved of the obligation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question: My father passed away on the third of Ramadan. Is it obligatory for me to complete Ramadan for him, meaning, should I fast on his behalf for twenty-seven days?

Answer: You owe nothing, because when your father died, the obligation was lifted from him. So you do not have to fast on his behalf, and it is not prescribed for you to do so.
