If the mother is alive, she must make up the days she missed in due to pregnancy and postpartum bleeding, repent for delaying the make-up without a valid excuse, and pay the expiation for the delay by feeding one poor person for each day. However, if she has passed away, and she was not negligent in making up the fasts, then no fasting is required on her behalf. But if she was negligent, scholars differ regarding the permissibility of fasting on her behalf.
