ما قالوا في الميت يموت وعليه اعتكافIf someone dies and i'tikaf was obligatory on him, what should be done?
Hadith 9952
٩٩٥٢ - حدثنا جرير بن عبد الحميد عن ليث قال: سئل طاوس عن امرأة ماتت وعليها أن تعتكف سنة في المسجد الحرام، ولها أربعة بنون كلهم يحب أن يقضي عنها، قال طاوس: اعتكفوا أربعتكم في المسجد الحرام ثلاثة أشهر وصوموا.
Hazrat Laith narrates that Hazrat Tawus was asked about a woman who had passed away; she had made a vow to perform i'tikaf in Masjid al-Haram for one year. She had four children, each of whom was willing to perform i'tikaf in her place. Hazrat Tawus said that all four should perform i'tikaf for three months each and also keep fasts.
