Wasiyyat to pay for missed fasts
Question
A Marhoom had missed a number of Salaah and fasts in his lifetime. The Fidya of these fasts and Salaah were not paid, nor was a Wasiyyat made by the deceased to pay from the estate. What should be done in such an instance?
Answer
The heirs may pay the Fidya from their personal funds, if they are willing to do so. The estate funds cannot be used since a Wasiyyat was not made by the Marhoom. [Re:- Kifaayatul Mufti Pg.389 Vol.6]

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
