Multiple heirs fasting on behalf of the deceased on the same day
Assalaamu alaykum. In a hadith on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbaas 
he said that a man came to the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and said, “My mother died and she still had to fast one month. Shall I fast on her behalf?” The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:, “If your mother was indebted,.. More
