If someone dies having incurred a blood sacrifice (dam) for neglecting an obligation in Hajj or , this blood sacrifice is to be taken from the principal of their estate before its division, as it is a financial right. If the deceased has no estate, it is recommended for their guardian (wali) to fast on their behalf for ten days, based on the : "Whoever dies owing fasts, their guardian should fast on their behalf." It is permissible for the guardians to share the fasting among themselves.
