[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my mother has passed away and she had a missed fast from the month of Ramadan. Should I make it up for her?" He replied, "Would you not have paid off her debt if she had one?" She said, "Yes." He said, "So the debt owed to Allah ﷻ is more deserving to be paid off."

A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said (to him) that one month's fast was due from her mother who had died. May I fulfill them on her behalf? He asked: Suppose some debt was due from your mother, would you pay it ? She replied: Yes. He said: So the debt due to Allah is the one which most deserves to be paid.
