Narrated ‘Aisha: Allah’s Apostle said, “Whoever died and he ought to have fasted (the missed days of Ramadan) then his guardians must fast on his behalf.” (Bukhari, 1835)
Umm Sahl, your sister in Islam, a wife and mother of 3 beautiful blessed babies Sahl Ozman, Du'aa Ozman and Zakiy Ozman.

Volume 3: The Book of Fasting
can you fast for your relative after his/her death?
brother Sadique: I do not know if we can fast on behalf of our relatives. Insha Allah will find out and let you know soon.
1836 – Narrated Ibn Abbas: A man came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah’s Apostle! My mother died and she ought to have fasted one month (for her missed Ramadan). Shall I fast on her behalf?" The Prophet replied in the affirmative and said, "Allah’s debts have more right to be paid." In another narration a woman is reported to have said, "My sister died…"
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas: A woman said to the Prophet "My mother died and she had vowed to fast but she didn’t fast." In another narration Ibn ‘Abbas is reported to have said, "A woman said to the Prophet, "My mother died while she ought to have fasted for fifteen days." (Sahih Al Bukhari)
