Chapter on One Who Becomes Muslim in Month of Ramadan, and the Ruling of One Who Reaches Puberty in It, and One Who Dies after Having Fasted Part of It or Not Having Fasted Anything from It

And from him, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad, who said: I (narrator) wrote to the ‘Al Akhir’, the ‘Last One’ عليه السلام, peace be upon him, regarding ‘a man who died while upon him was the making up of ten days from the month of Ramadan, and he has two guardians. Is it permissible for both of them to make it up on his behalf together, five days by one of the two guardians and five days by the other?’ So the Imam عليه السلام, peace be upon him, signed: “The eldest of his two guardians makes up ten consecutive days on his behalf, if Allah سبحانه وتعالى wills.”
