Chapter on Vows in Fasting and Fasting on Behalf of the Deceased
Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 619 — on Vows in Fasting and Fasting on Behalf
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يُسْأَلُ : هَلْ يَصُومُ أَحَدٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ يُصَلِّي أَحَدٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : " لَا يَصُومُ أَحَدٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ ، وَلَا يُصَلِّي أَحَدٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ "
It reached Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, that Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, was asked whether someone could fast on behalf of another person or pray on behalf of another person. He replied: No one should fast on behalf of another person, nor should anyone pray on behalf of another person.
