The answer

It is best that you fast on behalf of your mother, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever dies and has fasts outstanding, his guardian should fast on his behalf." If it is not possible for you or other relatives to fast, then feed a poor person for each day from her estate or your own money. The amount for that is half a sa' of the staple food of the land, and it is permissible to give all of it to one poor person.
