The Book of Haj
Forcing People to Perform al-Hajj
2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لَوْ عَطَّلَ النَّاسُ الْحَجَّ لَوَجَبَ عَلَى الإِمَامِ أَنْ يُجْبِرَهُمْ عَلَى الْحَجِّ إِنْ شَاءُوا وَإِنْ أَبَوْا فَإِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ إِنَّمَا وُضِعَ لِلْحَجِّ.
2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “If people neglect al-Hajj it becomes obligatory for the Imam to force them to perform al-Hajj whether they agree or disagree; this House is established for al-Hajj.”

One Who Is Not Able to Perform Al-Hajj by Himself, Another Person Is Readied on His Behalf (Chapter best explained by fatwas)
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) أَنَّ عَلِيّاً (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ كَبِيرٍ لَمْ يَحُجَّ قَطُّ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تُجَهِّزَ رَجُلاً ثُمَّ ابْعَثْهُ أَنْ يَحُجَّ عَنْكَ.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ariy from ‘Abd Allah ibn Maymun al- Qaddah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has narrated from his father (a.s.), who has said that Ali, Alayhi al-Salam, once said to an old man who had never performed al-Hajj, ‘If you like you can prepare a man and send him to perform al-Hajj on your behalf.’”
2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَلامُ الله عَلَيْهِ أَمَرَ شَيْخاً كَبِيراً لَمْ يَحُجَّ قَطُّ وَلَمْ يُطِقِ الْحَجَّ لِكِبَرِهِ أَنْ يُجَهِّزَ رَجُلاً أَنْ يَحُجَّ عَنْهُ.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Alayhi al-Salam, commanded an old man who had never performed al-Hajj and was not able to perform al-Hajj because of old age to prepare a man to perform al-Hajj on his behalf.’”
3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ حَالَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْحَجِّ مَرَضٌ أَوْ أَمْرٌ يَعْذِرُهُ الله فِيهِ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُحِجَّ عَنْهُ مِنْ مَالِهِ صَرُورَةً لا مَالَ لَهُ.
3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id form al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam), Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a Muslim who is prevented from performing al-Hajj because of illness or some other good reason in the sight of Allah. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required that someone else who has not performed al-Hajj and does not have any assets, go to al-Hajj on his behalf on his expenses.’”
4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَرَادَ الْحَجَّ فَعَرَضَ لَهُ مَرَضٌ أَوْ خَالَطَهُ سَقَمٌ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ الْخُرُوجَ فَلْيُجَهِّزْ رَجُلاً مِنْ مَالِهِ ثُمَّ لْيَبْعَثْهُ مَكَانَهُ.
4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from al- Qasim ibn Burayd from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Ali, Alayhi al-Salam, would say, ‘If a man wants to perform al-Hajj but illness or some other thing prevents him from going for al-Hajj, he must prepare (hire) a man with his assets and send him for al-Hajj in his place.’”
5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ مُوسِرٌ حَالَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْحَجِّ مَرَضٌ أَوْ أَمْرٌ يَعْذِرُهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُحِجَّ عَنْهُ صَرُورَةً لا مَالَ لَهُ.
5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If a man is affluent but an illness or some other good reason in the sight of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, prevents him he is required (to hire) a man who has not performed any al-Hajj on his expenses to go to perform al-Hajj on his behalf.’”
The Book of Haj
What Suffices for Hajjata al-Islam and What Does Not Suffice? (The following Chapter is best explained by fatwa).
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَسَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً مُعْسِراً أَحَجَّهُ رَجُلٌ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَجَّةٌ فَإِنْ أَيْسَرَ بَعْدُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَجُّ وَكَذَلِكَ النَّاصِبُ إِذَا عَرَفَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْحَجُّ وَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ حَجَّ.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from and Sahl ibn Ziyad all Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that if a man in a difficult condition financially performs al-Hajj with the help of an affluent man, he has one al-Hajj. If later he himself becomes affluent, he is required to perform al-Hajj. So also is the case of one who has animosity toward ’A’immah, after learning the truth is required to perform al-Hajj, even if he already has performed al-Hajj.’”
2ـ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ فَحَجَّ بِهِ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَ قَضَى حَجَّةَ الإِسْلامِ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَإِذَا أَيْسَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَحُجَّ قُلْتُ وَهَلْ تَكُونُ حَجَّتُهُ تِلْكَ تَامَّةً أَوْ نَاقِصَةً إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ حَجَّ مِنْ مَالِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ يُقْضَى عَنْهُ حَجَّةُ الإِسْلامِ وَتَكُونُ تَامَّةً وَلَيْسَتْ بِنَاقِصَةٍ وَإِنْ أَيْسَرَ فَلْيَحُجَّ قَالَ وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ لَهُ الإِبِلُ يُكْرِيهَا فَيُصِيبُ عَلَيْهَا فَيَحُجُّ وَهُوَ كَرِيٌّ تُغْنِي عَنْهُ حَجَّتُهُ أَوْ يَكُونُ يَحْمِلُ التِّجَارَةَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَحُجُّ فَيُصِيبُ الْمَالَ فِي تِجَارَتِهِ أَوْ يَضَعُ أَ تَكُونُ حَجَّتُهُ تَامَّةً أَوْ نَاقِصَةً أَوْ لا تَكُونُ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ وَلا يَنْوِي غَيْرَهُ أَوْ يَكُونُ يَنْوِيهِمَا جَمِيعاً أَ يَقْضِي ذَلِكَ حَجَّتَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ حَجَّتُهُ تَامَّةٌ.
2. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama‘ah from A number of our people have narrated from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from al-Fadl ibn ‘Abd al-Malik who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who does not have any assets but people helped him to perform al-Hajj; if it is sufficient for Hajjahta al-Islam. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, but if later he becomes affluent, he is required to perform al-Hajj again.’ I then asked, ‘The kind of al-Hajj that he has performed, is it complete or defective because he has not performed it from his own assets?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is sufficient for Hajjahta al-Islam and it will be complete, not defective; however, if he becomes affluent he must perform al-Hajj again.’ He (the Imam) was asked about a man who has camel for hire who finds a passenger and performs al-Hajj while he is hired; is his al-Hajj sufficient Hajjah for him; also if he carries assets for trade to Makkah, then he finds a certain amount of assets from his trade or suffers losses. Is his al-Hajj complete or defective or it is not al-Hajj, unless he goes to Makkah just for al-Hajj without any intention for other things or that he has intention for al-Hajj as well as other matters? Is this kind of al-Hajj sufficient for his al-Hajj? He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, his al-Hajj is complete.’”
3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ حَجَّ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ أَ يُجْزِئُهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ حَجَّةِ الإِسْلامِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ حَجَّةُ الْجَمَّالِ تَامَّةٌ أَوْ نَاقِصَةٌ قَالَ تَامَّةٌ قُلْتُ حَجَّةُ الأَجِيرِ تَامَّةٌ أَمْ نَاقِصَةٌ قَالَ تَامَّةٌ.
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs al-Hajj for someone else; if it is sufficient for Hajjahta al-Islam. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes it is sufficient.’ I then asked, ‘Is al- Hajj of a camel-man complete or defective?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is complete.’ I asked, ‘Is al-Hajj on hire complete or defective?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is complete.’”
4ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ حَجَّ وَلا يَدْرِي وَلا يَعْرِفُ هَذَا الأَمْرَ ثُمَّ مَنَّ الله عَلَيْهِ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ وَالدَّيْنُونَةِ بِهِ أَ عَلَيْهِ حَجَّةُ الإِسْلامِ أَمْ قَدْ قَضَى قَالَ قَدْ قَضَى فَرِيضَةَ الله وَالْحَجُّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ وَعَنْ رَجُلٍ هُوَ فِي بَعْضِ هَذِهِ الأَصْنَافِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقِبْلَةِ نَاصِبٍ مُتَدَيِّنٍ ثُمَّ مَنَّ الله عَلَيْهِ فَعَرَفَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ أَ يُقْضَى عَنْهُ حَجَّةُ الإِسْلامِ أَوْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَحُجَّ مِنْ قَابِلٍ قَالَ الْحَجُّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ.
4. Ali has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and asked him about a man who did not believe in this issue (the Divine Authority of ’A’immah); then Allah granted him understanding and belief in it. Does he still owe Hajjahta al-Islam or it is complete?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He has completed the obligation from Allah but performing al-Hajj is more beloved to me.’ I asked about a man of the people of al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah) who had animosity toward ’A’immah, but Allah granted him understanding and recognized this issue (the Divine Authority of ’A’immah); does this complete his Hajjahta al-Islam or he is required to perform al-Hajj in future? He (the Imam) said, ‘Al-Hajj is more beloved to me.’”
