"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

[AI] 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»

[AI] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Indeed, my father has died and did not perform Hajj. Should I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The Prophet replied, "If your father had a debt, would you pay it off?" The man answered, "Yes." The Prophet then said, "So the debt of Allah is more deserving to be paid off."

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ «لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَدَيْنُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى»
