عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ أُمِّي قَدْ مَاتَتْ وَلَمْ تَحُجَّ فَيُجْزِئُهَا أَنْ أَحُجَّ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ: ((نَعَمْ))، قَالَتْ: فَإِنَّ أُمِّي كَانَ عَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ فَيُجْزِئُهَا أَنْ أَصُومَ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ: ((نَعَمْ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: My mother passed away without performing Hajj, so can I perform Hajj on her behalf? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes. The woman further asked: My mother also owed a month of fasting, so can I fast on her behalf? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
