Question:
May Allah reward you. If a person vowed to perform Hajj, and he died without performing it, is anything required of his heirs, given that he has no wealth from which the cost of Hajj can be paid?
Answer:
This is among the rights attached to the estate. You say that he has no estate, so nothing is required of them. However, if they perform Hajj on his behalf as an act of kindness and benevolence toward him, that is a good thing. Yes.
