Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: A man came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Messenger ! My mother died and she ought to have fasted one month (for her missed Ramadan). Shall I fast on her behalf?" The Prophet replied in the affirmative and said, "Allah's debts have more right to be paid". In another narration a woman is reported to have said, "My sister died".. Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: A woman said to the Prophet "My mother died and she had vowed to fast but she didn't fast".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about fulfilling the obligations of a deceased loved one. It was narrated by Ibn 'Abbas, who reported that a woman came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and asked if she could fast on behalf of her mother who had died before completing her Ramadan fasts. The Prophet ﷺ replied in the affirmative and said that Allah's debts have more right to be paid. This teaches us that we should fulfill our obligations even after death, as it is an act of kindness towards our deceased loved ones and will be rewarded by Allah Almighty.
