Question:
If one dies with days of Ramadan remaining, does his guardian fast on his behalf?
Answer:
This is the Sunnah, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1147 It is agreed upon that it is authentic. So, if he dies and has days he did not make up, and he was able to, he recovered from his illness, but he did not fast; he was lenient; it is made up on his behalf. As for if he was unable, he died in his illness, and he was not able to recover, then this is not made up on his behalf, and he does not have to feed people; because he was not able to make it up.
As for the prayers, they are not made up; the prayer is not made up for the deceased.
