[2696] 156 - (...) It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbās said: “A woman came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, my mother has died and she owed a fast that she vowed to observe; shall I fast it on her behalf?’ He said: ‘Don’t you think that if your mother owed a debt and you would pay it off, that would settle the matter on her behalf?’ She said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Then fast on behalf of your mother.’”
