The answer

Praise be to Allah, who accepted your grandfather's repentance before his death. He was obliged to make up the fasts he missed during Ramadans. If he was unable to make them up, then he had to feed one poor person for each day. Now that he has passed away, it is obligatory to pay the expiation of feeding one poor person for each day he missed from his estate, and it is permissible for his guardians to fast on his behalf.
