Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. A person vowed to pray and died before he prayed that prayer; do the heirs pray on his behalf?

Answer:
There is no evidence for this. There is no evidence that prayer is made up for the deceased, because it is a physical act. As for fasting, there is evidence for it.
