Must the heirs perform Hajj on behalf of their deceased inheritors who did not perform Hajj during their lifetime?

The heirs of a deceased person, upon whom the Hajj became obligatory but who did not perform it, must disburse from his wealth what is sufficient for the Hajj on his behalf before dividing the inheritance. This applies whether he was negligent or not, and whether he bequeathed it or not. It is also equally valid for one of the heirs to perform the Hajj or for someone else to perform it on his behalf, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Fulfill your obligations to Allah, for Allah is more deserving of fulfillment."
