حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَتْ : كُنْتُ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَلَى أُمِّي بِوَلِيدَةٍ وَإِنَّهَا مَاتَتْ وَتَرَكَتْ تِلْكَ الْوَلِيدَةَ ، قَالَ : " قَدْ وَجَبَ أَجْرُكِ وَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْكِ فِي الْمِيرَاثِ " .
Buraidah said A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said I gave a slave girl as sadaqah to my mother who has now died and has left that slave girl. He said your reward is sure and the inheritance has given her back to you.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
➊ If a person gives charity and that charity returns to him on account of inheritance, then it is permissible for him to take it, and there will be no decrease in its reward.
➋ One may also perform a voluntary Hajj on behalf of one's parents.
➌ Just as the guardian may fast Ramadan fasts on behalf of the deceased, he may also observe fasts of vows (nazr) on behalf of the deceased, although according to Imam Abu Hanifah rahimahullah, Imam Malik rahimahullah, and Imam Shafi'i rahimahullah, it is not permissible to fast on behalf of the deceased. According to Imam Ahmad rahimahullah, one cannot fast Ramadan fasts on behalf of the deceased, but may fast the fasts of vows (nazr) on their behalf.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Serving and assisting one’s parents, both materially and spiritually, is among the three most important virtues. It is a deed of great reward.
➋
If charity (sadaqah) or a gift (hadiyyah) returns as inheritance, then it is permissible to become its owner. Similarly, taking it in this manner does not fall under the prohibition regarding reclaiming charity (sadaqah) or a gift (hibah).
➌
If there are missed fasts (sawm) owed by the deceased, the heir should make them up (qada) on their behalf.
➍
In this way, Hajj can also be performed on behalf of the deceased.
