Fasting on Behalf of Deceased Relatives

SUMMARY: A woman asked the Prophet if she could fast on behalf of her deceased mother who had an unpaid fast. The Prophet said yes.

It was narrated from Ibn Buraidah that his father said: "A woman came to the Prophet and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died and she owed a fast. Should I fast on her behalf?’ He said: 'Yes.’"

The Prophet said yes, indicating that it is permissible to fulfill obligations for those who have passed away.

We should strive to fulfill any religious duties or obligations they may have left behind in order to honor their memory and show respect for them.
