2634 - أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الْأَوْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرُّؤَاسِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَبِيهَا، مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ؟ قَالَ: «حُجِّي عَنْ أَبِيكِ»

Commentary
If Hajj had become obligatory on someone before dying, and he was not able to perform it, then the Hajj would be performed in his place. But if Hajj was not obligatory upon him, then there is no need to perform it.
