Can we fast for the deceased when we are not sure if they had missed fasts?

My question to you is that can one keep nafil fast (voluntary) and kadha fast (compulsory) together? If yes, then is it acceptable if one keeps it(both nafil and kadha fast together) without doing suhur?

ANSWER: This is permissible, providing the intention of fasting the fard fast was made prior to the athan of fajr or a night before. Not having suhoor has no impact on the validity of fasts but one would lose a great deal of reward for skipping this great sunnah.

Shiekh we know we must make intention to fast before Fajr. Does that include non-obligatory fasting like Monday and Thursday, fasting of three white days, etc? Will I get reward if I realize that today is Thursday and I didn’t make intention to fast it but I just fast anyway?
