What is done for a sister who died without having performed Hajj from good deeds

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My sister passed away and she did not perform Hajj, and she has no sons or daughters. What can we do for her to earn good deeds?

Answer:
If she had money and had not performed the Hajj of Islam, then it is necessary to perform Hajj on her behalf from her money, because this is a debt owed to Allah the Exalted. As for if she had already performed the Hajj of Islam, or if she had no money and Hajj was not obligatory upon her, and you want to benefit her by dedicating the reward to her, then there is no harm in that, but only through what has come in the evidence: making du'a for her, performing Hajj on her behalf, performing 'Umrah on her behalf with the intention of dedicating the reward to her, and giving charity on her behalf. All of these are matters that have come in the evidence. Yes.
