A woman from the tribe of Juhaina came to the Holy Prophet and said, “My mother had vowed to perform Hajj but she died before performing it. May I perform Hajj on my mother’s behalf” The Holy Prophet replied, “Perform Hajj on her behalf. Had there been a debt on your mother, would you have paid it or not So, pay Allah’s debt as He has more right to be paid.” (Bukhari)

Abu Huraira (Allah be well pleased with him) reported that a person said to Allah’s Apostle ﷺ My father died and left behind property without making any will regarding it. Would he be relieved of the burden of his sin if I give sadaqah on his behalf He (the Holy Prophet) said Yes. (Muslim)

Syeda A’isha (Allah be well pleased with her) reported that a man said to Allah’s Apostle ﷺ/ My mother died all of a sudden, and I think if she (could have the opportunity) to speak she would have (made a will) regarding Sadaqah’. Will I be entitled to reward if I give charity on her behalf He (the Holy Prophet) said/ “Yes”. (Muslim)

Anas b. Malik (Allah be well pleased with him) is reported as saying Abu Talha was the one among the Ansar of Medina who possessed the largest property and among his property he valued most was his garden known as Bairaha’ which was opposite the mosque, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ often visited it and he drank of its sweet water. When this verse was revealed” You will never attain righteousness till you give freely of what you Have” (iii. 91), Abu Talha got up and, going to Allah’s Messenger ﷺ, said/Allah says in His Book” You will never attain righteousness till you give freely of what you love,” and the dearest of my property is Bairaha’ so I give it as Sadaqah to Allah from Whom I hope for reward for it and the treasure with Allah; so spend it, Messenger of Allah, on whatever purpose you deem it proper. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said Bravo! That is profit earning property. I have heard what you have said, but I think you should spend it on your nearest relatives. So Abu Talha distributed it among the nearest relatives and his cousins on his father’s side. (Muslim, Bukhari). It is said that Abu Talha donated it on behalf of his mother.

Narrated Abu Huraira (Allah be well pleased with him) The Holy Prophet ﷺ said, “I am more closer to the believers than their own selves, so whoever (of them) dies while being in debt and leaves nothing for its repayment, then we are to pay his debts on his behalf and whoever (among the believers) dies leaving some property, then that property is for his heirs.” (Bukhari)

Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa (Allah be well pleased with him)  Once, while we were sitting in the company of Holy Prophet, a dead man was brought. The Holy Prophet was requested to lead the funeral prayer for the deceased. He said, “Is he in debt” The people replied in the negative. He said, “Has he left any wealth” They said, “No” So, he led his funeral prayer. Another dead man was brought and the people said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Lead his funeral prayer.” The Holy Prophet said, “Is he in debt” They said, “Yes.” He said, “Has he left any wealth” They said, ”Three Dinars.” So, he led the prayer. Then a third dead man was brought and the people said (to the Holy Prophet), Please lead his funeral prayer.” He said, “Has he left any wealth” They said, “No.” He asked, “Is he in debt” They said, (“Yes! He has to pay) three Diners.’, He (refused to pray and) said, “Then pray for your (dead) companion.” Abu Qatadah said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Lead his funeral prayer, and I will pay his debt.” So, he led the prayer. (Bukhari)

You may perform Hajj on her behalf.” (Tirmizi)
