Fulfill any vows made by your deceased relatives even though they are not alive anymore. Take responsibility for any obligations left behind by your loved ones after they have passed away.

This hadith is about fulfilling the vows of deceased relatives. It was narrated by Ibn Abbas that Sa'd bin 'Ubada Al-Ansari sought the verdict of Allah's Messenger regarding a vow made by his mother who had died before fulfilling it. Allah's Messenger said, "Fulfill it on her behalf". Some people said, if the number of camels reaches twenty, then their owner has to pay four sheep as Zakat; and if their owner gives them as a gift or sells them in order to escape the payment of Zakat cunningly before the completion of a year, then he is not to pay anything, and if he slaughters them and then dies, then no Zakat is to be taken from his property. This hadith teaches us that we should fulfill any vows made by our deceased relatives even though they are not alive anymore. We should also take responsibility for any obligations left behind by our loved ones after they have passed away.
