What is the ruling on one who vowed to perform Hajj but died before performing it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person vowed to perform Hajj and died without leaving an estate, is making up the Hajj recommended or obligatory?
Answer:
If it is facilitated by some of the heirs or others for someone to perform Hajj on his behalf, that is recommended, and the one who does it is rewarded. Otherwise, he owes nothing; because of the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Surat al-Taghabun: 16], just like a debt. If they pay it off on his behalf, they have done well. Otherwise, there is no blame on him if he did not leave an estate.

So fear Allah as much as you are able
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
