The ruling on one who dies with fasting owed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He died before he made up the fast?
Answer:
If he died with fasting owed, and he was not excused, it is fasted on his behalf. But if he died while excused, meaning he died in his illness and did not fast, then he owes no fasting, no fasting, and nothing else. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1147.
And the one who died because of the illness, and did not recover from it, but rather died in his illness, is excused. He owes no feeding, and no fasting.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone dies in a state (that he had to complete) some fasts, his heir must fast on his behalf.
من مات وعليه صيام؛ صام عنه وليهAnd the one who died because of the illness, and did not recover from it, but rather died in his illness, is excused. He owes no feeding, and no fasting.
