Sahih al-Bukhari 7315 (Book 96, Hadith 46) #7021
Fulfilling Obligations to Allah

SUMMARY: A woman asked the Prophet if she could perform Hajj on behalf of her deceased mother, to which he replied that it is a duty to fulfill obligations to Allah.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: A woman came to the Prophet and said, "My mother vowed to perform the Hajj but she died before performing it. Should I perform the Hajj on her behalf?" He said, "Yes! Perform the Hajj on her behalf. See, if your mother had been in debt, would you have paid her debt?" She said, "Yes". He said, "So you should pay what is for Him as Allah has more right that one should fulfill one's obligations to Him".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، جَاءَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أُمِّي نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَحُجَّ فَمَاتَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَحُجَّ أَفَأَحُجَّ عَنْهَا قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ حُجِّي عَنْهَا، أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكِ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتِ قَاضِيَتَهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ فَاقْضُوا الَّذِي لَهُ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَحَقُّ بِالْوَفَاءِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about fulfilling obligations and duties towards Allah. It tells us that if we have any obligations or duties towards Him, we must fulfill them no matter what. The hadith is narrated by Ibn 'Abbas who was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and one of his relatives. In this hadith, a woman came to the Prophet ﷺ asking him whether she can perform Hajj on behalf of her deceased mother as her mother had vowed for it before passing away. To this, the Prophet ﷺ replied in affirmative and asked her if she would pay off any debt incurred by her mother before death. He then said that since paying off debts is obligatory for us, similarly fulfilling our obligations towards Allah is also obligatory for us no matter what circumstances arise in our lives.
