Sahih al-Bukhari 1952 (Book 30, Hadith 59) #1872
Fasting on Behalf of Deceased

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the obligation of guardians to fast on behalf of a deceased person who was supposed to fast during Ramadan.

Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Messenger said, "Whoever died and he ought to have fasted (the missed days of Ramadan) then his guardians must fast on his behalf".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ صِيَامٌ صَامَ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو‏.‏ وَرَوَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that if someone dies and they were supposed to fast during the month of Ramadan, then their guardians are obligated to fast on their behalf. This means that even though the deceased person is not alive anymore, they can still receive blessings from Allah by having their guardians complete the fasting for them. It teaches us that we should always be mindful and respectful towards our elders and those who have passed away, as it is our duty as Muslims to take care of them in any way we can. Additionally, it also reminds us how important it is for us to fulfill our obligations towards Allah while we are still alive so that when we pass away, others will be able to do good deeds in our name.
