Ruling on making up fasts for one who lost consciousness in Ramadan until he died

Question: A man became ill and caught part of the month of Ramadan, then he suffered a loss of consciousness that has continued. If he dies, do his sons have to make up the fasts for him? May Allah reward you.

Answer: In the name of Allah, and all praise is due to Allah.
He does not have to make up the fasts if he is struck by something that takes away his mind, or what is called fainting. If he regains his consciousness, he owes no make-up fasts. His case is like that of a madman or an imbecile; he owes no make-up fasts. However, if the fainting lasts for a short period, such as one day, two days, or at most three days, there is no harm in making up the fasts as a precaution. But if the period is long, he is like an imbecile and owes no make-up fasts. If Allah restores his mind, he begins the work [of making up the fasts]. And if he dies, his sons are not required to make up the fasts for him. We ask Allah for well-being and safety.
