حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بَنِ 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 ، قَالَتْ : وَإِنَّهَا مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ أَفَيُجْزِئُ أَوْ يَقْضِي عَنْهَا أَنْ أَصُومَ عَنْهَا قَالَ : نَعَمْ قَالَتْ : وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَحُجَّ أَفَيُجْزِئُ أَوْ يَقْضِي عَنْهَا أَنْ أَحُجَّ عَنْهَا قَالَ : نَعَمْ ".
Narrated Buraidah: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I donated my slave-girl to my mother, but she died and left the slave-girl. He said: Your reward became due, and she came back to you in inheritance. She said: She died while a month's fasting was due from her. Would it be sufficient or be taken as completed if I fast on her behalf ? He said: Yes. She said: She also did not perform Hajj. Would it be sufficient or be taken completed if I perform (Hajj) on her behalf ? He said: Yes.

Brief Explanation
1؎: Some scholars are of the opinion that fasting can be performed on behalf of the deceased, whereas the majority of scholars state that deputation (niyabah) is not valid in acts of bodily worship. This is why deputation is not done in prayer (salah) on behalf of anyone. However, in those matters where deputation has been explicitly mentioned, deputation is valid, such as in fasting (sawm) and pilgrimage (hajj), etc.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
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.

➊ Serving one’s parents is obligatory upon the children, and it is also required that they support them financially. However, obligatory charities (zakat) cannot be given to them.
➋ The situation of taking back charity mentioned in the hadith is not the well-known form of reclaiming charity, which is prohibited.
