Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 5395 — on Fulfilling Vowed Acts on Behalf
عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا نَذْرٌ أَفَيُجْزِئُ عَنْهَا أَنْ أُعْتِقَ عَنْهَا قَالَ أَعْتِقْ عَنْ أُمِّكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "My mother has passed away, and she had a vow upon her. If I free a slave on her behalf, will this action suffice for her?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Free (a slave) on behalf of your mother."
