اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ امْرَأَةً نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَحُجَّ فَمَاتَتْ فَأَتَى أَخُوهَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُخْتِكَ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاقْضُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِالْوَفَاءِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a woman made a vow to perform Hajj, but she passed away before fulfilling that vow. Her brother came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and inquired about this matter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What do you think—if your sister had a debt, would you pay it off? He replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then fulfill Allah’s debt as well, for He is more deserving that His debt be paid.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is understood from this that if the deceased was unable to fulfill a vow (nadhar), then his heirs should fulfill his vow.
