The Case of a Person Who Passes Away Owing Fasting of the Month of Ramadan or Other Times
5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الأَخِيرِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) رَجُلٌ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ قَضَاءٌ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ عَشَرَةُ أَيَّامٍ وَلَهُ وَلِيَّانِ هَلْ يَجُوزُ لَهُمَا أَنْ يَقْضِيَا عَنْهُ جَمِيعاً خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَحَدُ الْوَلِيَّيْنِ وَخَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ الآخَرُ فَوَقَّعَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقْضِي عَنْهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلِيِّهِ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ وِلاءً إِنْ شَاءَ الله.
5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad (ibn al-Hassan al-Saffar) who has said the following: “I once wrote to the last (abu Muhammad al-‘Askariy) عليه السلام, and asked, ‘A man has died, and owes Qada’ (compensatory fast) of the month of Ramadan which are ten days and has left behind two guardians. Is it permissible that the two together complete Qada’ (compensatory fast) of such fast five days each guardian?’ He (the Imam) signed the answer that said, ‘The eldest of his guardians completes ten days of Qada’ (compensatory fast) as a guardian by the will of Allah.’”
