What is the fast that is made up on behalf of the deceased?

Question:
Regarding the hadith , the thing I know is that it is understood to apply to the fast of a vow, but one of the scholars mentioned on the program that it is the fast of Ramadan. Is this correct? Or is the correct view what I know from one of the Salafi books? Please inform us, may you be rewarded, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The correct view is that it is general and not specific to the vow. It has been narrated from some of the imams, such as Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) and a group of others, that they said it is specific to the vow, but that is a weak opinion and there is no evidence for it.
The correct view is that it is general; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , and its authenticity is agreed upon from the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). He did not say: "the fast of the vow." And it is not permissible to restrict the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with claims, independent legal reasoning, or opinions. No, the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is general; it covers the fast of the vow and the fast of Ramadan if it is delayed, if one left its fasting due to laziness after having the ability, or the fasts of expiation. So if one left that, his guardian fasts on his behalf. The guardian is the relative, his relatives. And if others fasted, that suffices. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked; a man asked him, saying: "O Messenger of Allah! My mother died and she had a fast of a month on her. Should I fast on her behalf?" He said: . And a woman asked him about that, saying: "O Messenger of Allah! My mother died and she had a fast of a month on her. Should I fast on her behalf?" He said: .
And in Musnad Ahmad with a sound chain from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): that a woman said: "O Messenger of Allah! My mother died and she had the fast of Ramadan on her. Should I fast on her behalf?" He said: . So she clarified that it was Ramadan, and he ordered her to fast. Thus, the many hadiths indicate that making up the fast covers Ramadan and others, and that there is no basis for restricting it to the vow. Rather, that is a weak, weak opinion, and the correct view is generality. This is how the evidence came from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). But if the one who broke the fast in Ramadan did not neglect it, by breaking it for the sake of illness, or for the sake of breastfeeding or pregnancy, and then the sick person died, or the pregnant woman died, or the breastfeeding woman died, and she was unable to make it up; then there is nothing on the heirs, neither making up the fast nor feeding, due to the legal excuse, which is illness and the like. As for the one who recovered from his illness and was able to fast but was lax; this is made up on his behalf. Or the breastfeeding woman or the pregnant woman, who was able to make it up afterwards but was lax; this is made up on her behalf. And Allah is the guarantor of success.
