2640. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "A man said: 'O Messenger of Allâh! 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?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'The debt owed to Allâh is more deserving (of being paid off).'" (Hasan)
