Hadith 27
The Book of Fasting
Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported:
A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah, my mother has died and there is due from her a fast of vow; should I fast on her behalf? Thereupon he said: You see that if your mother had died in debt, would it not have been paid on her behalf? She said: Yes. He (the Prophet) said: Then observe fast on behalf of your mother.
