English Translation
A woman from Juhaynah came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: 'My mother vowed to perform Hajj but she did not do so before she died. May I perform Hajj on her behalf?' He said: 'Tell me, if your mother had a debt, would you pay it?' She said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then perform Hajj on her behalf, and fulfill what is upon her, for Allah, the Exalted, is most deserving of fulfillment.'
