Is the remainder of Ramadan fasted on behalf of one who died in it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman asks, saying: She has sisters who died two or three years ago, and they died during the days of the month of Ramadan while they were fasting. So the question is: does the sister or any of the relatives fast the remaining days?

Answer:
They died in Ramadan, which means they owe nothing. It is not fasted on their behalf, nor is charity given on their behalf. They are excused; they did not leave it off, nor did they be lenient with it.
