"A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah! My father has died and he did not perform Hajj; shall I perform Hajj on his behalf?' He said: 'Don't you think that if your father owed a debt you would pay it off?' The man said: 'Yes.' He said: 'The debt owed to Allah is more deserving (of being paid off)."'
رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدَيْنُ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ
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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3310)
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ أَفَأَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكَ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدَيْنُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah is more merciful to perform Hajj on behalf of your father."
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَحُجَّ قَالَ «أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ عَنْهُ قُبِلَ مِنْهُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «اللَّهُ أَرْحَمُ حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ»

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed my father is an elderly and weak man, and he has performed all the religious rituals of Islam except for Hajj, and he is not capable of traveling on a camel. Should I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He replied, "Tell me, if your father had a debt, would you not repay it on his behalf?" I said, "Yes, I would." He said, "Then the debt of Allah is more deserving to be fulfilled."
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ ضَعِيفٌ وَقَدْ عَمِلَ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ الْحَجِّ وَلَا يَسْتَمْسِكُ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْ أَبِي؟ فَقَالَ «أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَدَيْنُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى»
