[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I gave a slave girl as charity on behalf of my mother, but she passed away and now the slave girl has come back to me as an inheritance." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "May Allah reward you. The inheritance has been returned to you." The woman asked, "My mother passed away without performing Hajj, can I perform Hajj on her behalf?" The Prophet ﷺ answered, "Yes, you can perform Hajj on her behalf." She then asked, "My mother used to fast for a month, can I fast on her behalf?" The Prophet ﷺ confirmed, "Yes, you can fast on her behalf."

When we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a woman came to him and said: I had gifted to my mother a maid-servant, and now she (the mother) has died. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: There is a definite reward for you and she (the maid-servant) has been returned to you as an inheritance. She (that woman) again said: Fasts of a month (of Ramadan) are due upon her; should I observe them on her behalf? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Observe fasts on her behalf. She (again) said: She did not perform Hajj, should I perform it on her behalf? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Perform Hajj on her behalf.

A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I donated my slave-girl to my mother, but she died and left the slave-girl. He said: Your reward became due, and she came back to you in inheritance. She said: She died while a month's fasting was due from her. Would it be sufficient or be taken as completed if I fast on her behalf ? He said: Yes. She said: She also did not perform Hajj. Would it be sufficient or be taken completed if I perform (Hajj) on her behalf ? He said: Yes.
