The ruling on one who dies with fasting days remaining that he broke while traveling

Question:
A listener who referred to his name by the letters (S. M. H) from Riyadh sent a message, containing a long question summarized as follows: If a person dies with fasting days remaining that he broke due to travel, do his heirs fast on his behalf?

Answer:
Yes, if he was negligent, if he returned and did not fast; then the Sunnah is for them to fast. But if he died while traveling, or died after he returned, like a sick person who died in his illness, or died after he recovered, and he was unable to fast; then he is excused.
But if the sick person or the traveler was negligent, meaning the sick person recovered, or the traveler returned from his journey, but he was lax and did not fast, then died, it is prescribed for their relatives to fast on their behalf, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): And a group asked him, one saying: My mother died with a month of fasting remaining, and another saying: My father died with a month of fasting remaining, or two months of fasting remaining, should I fast on his behalf? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes. He answered them with yes.
So the Sunnah for these people is to fast on behalf of their relatives and do them good by doing so, if their relatives were negligent, meaning they were lax. But if he died in his illness, or died in his journey, or died after he recovered, or died after he returned and was unable to fast; then he is excused. Yes.
