If the Hired Person Dies and It had been Stipulated That He Himself Must Do the Deeds
Issue No. 1224- If a hired person dies before accomplishing the prayer and the fast for which he had been hired, and if he had taken wages for all of the m, and if the hirer has stipulated that he has to offer all the prayers himself, the hirer can take back the proportionate amount of wages for the remaining prayer from his estate. However, if it had not been stipulated, then the heirs of the deceased should pay from his estate, and hire another person to complete the task. In case there is no estate, the heirs would be under no obligation, although it would be better to relieve the dead person of his debts.
