Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn al-Nu’man from Suwayd al-Qala’ from Ayyub from Burayd al- ‘ Ij liy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who left a certain amount in deposit with me and he died. His sons do not have anything and he had not performed Hajjahta al-Islam.

He (the Imam) said, ‘Perform al-Hajj on his behalf and whatever is left, give it to his heirs.”’ صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/215))
