The ruling on a woman fasting on behalf of her grandfather who died owing fasts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A letter from one of the female listeners, Umm 'Abd al-Aziz, and she says: I have a number of questions. In one of them, she says: My paternal grandfather passed away, and he had fasts owed from Ramadan. My father and I fasted on his behalf; I fasted eight days and my father fasted eight days. Is that valid? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Thank you, may Allah reward you with good. Fine, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1147 meaning: his guardian. So if you and the father have made up what was owed by the deceased; may Allah reward you with good. This is a praiseworthy and rewarded deed, and it benefits the deceased.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
