Sunan an-Nasai 2633 (Book 24, Hadith 15) #17244
Performing Hajj on Behalf of a Deceased Parent

SUMMARY: The wife of Sinan bin Salamah Al-Juhani asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) if she could perform Hajj on behalf of her mother who had died without performing it, to which he replied in the affirmative.

Ibn 'Abbas said: "The wife of sinan bin Salamah Al-Juhani ordered that the question be put to the Messenger of Allah about her mother who had died and had not performed Hajj; would it be good enough if she were to perform Hajj on behalf of her mother? He said: 'Yes. If her mother owed a debt and she paid it off, would that not be good enough? Let her perform Hajj on behalf of her mother'.''
أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو التَّيَّاحِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْهُذَلِيُّ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَمَرَتِ امْرَأَةُ سِنَانَ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ الْجُهَنِيِّ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ، رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّ أُمَّهَا مَاتَتْ وَلَمْ تَحُجَّ أَفَيُجْزِئُ عَنْ أُمِّهَا أَنْ تَحُجَّ عَنْهَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهَا دَيْنٌ فَقَضَتْهُ عَنْهَا أَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهَا فَلْتَحُجَّ عَنْ أُمِّهَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Fulfill obligations towards others even after death, Respect your parents' wishes and honour them posthumously .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of fulfilling obligations even after death. It is narrated by Ibn 'Abbas that a woman asked the Prophet Muhammad if she could perform Hajj on behalf of her mother who had passed away without performing it. The Prophet replied in the affirmative and compared it to paying off a debt owed by her mother. This shows that fulfilling obligations is an important part of our faith and should be taken seriously even after death, as we are responsible for our own actions and those we owe something to should be given their due rights. It also teaches us that we should not forget our parents' wishes even after they have passed away, as they still deserve respect and honour from us.
