Fulfilling Vows After Death

SUMMARY: A woman made a vow to fast for a month, but died before she could fulfill it. The Prophet advised her sister to fast on her behalf.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "A woman traveled by sea and vowed to fast for a month, but she died before she could fast. Her sister came to the Prophet and told him about that, and he told her to fast on her behalf".
أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْبَطِينِ، عَنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ رَكِبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ الْبَحْرَ فَنَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرًا فَمَاتَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَصُومَ فَأَتَتْ أُخْتُهَا النَّبِيَّ وَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَصُومَ عَنْهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of fulfilling vows even after death. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said that a woman had traveled by sea and vowed to fast for a month, but unfortunately she passed away before she could complete her vow. Her sister came to the Prophet and told him about this situation, and he advised her to fast on behalf of the deceased woman in order to fulfill the vow. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive our best to fulfill our promises even if it is not possible for us personally anymore due to death or any other reason. We should also encourage others around us who are still alive and able-bodied enough, such as family members or friends, in fulfilling these promises on our behalf if we are unable do so ourselves anymore.
