The Case of a Man Who Becomes a Muslim before Having Circumcision
1ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي الرَّجُلِ يُسْلِمُ فَيُرِيدُ أَنْ يَحُجَّ وَقَدْ حَضَرَ الْحَجُّ أَ يَحُجُّ أَوْ يَخْتَتِنُ قَالَ لا يَحُجُّ حَتَّى يَخْتَتِنَ.
1. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Ibrahim ibn Maymun who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who becomes a Muslim and wants to perform al-Hajj and it is time for al-Hajj, if he performs al-Hajj or circumcision. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must not perform al-Hajj until he is circumcised.”’
2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لا بَأْسَ أَنْ تَطُوفَ الْمَرْأَةُ غَيْرَ الْمَخْفُوضَةِ فَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ فَلا يَطُوفُ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ مُخْتَتِنٌ.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not harmful if a woman who is not Makhfudah (circumcised) performs Tawaf, but a man must not perform Tawaf until he is circumcised.’”

The Case of a Woman Whose Husband Prevents Her from Performing al-Hajj
1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ لَهَا زَوْجٌ أَبَى أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهَا أَنْ تَحُجَّ وَلَمْ تَحُجَّ حَجَّةَ الإِسْلامِ فَغَابَ زَوْجُهَا عَنْهَا وَقَدْ نَهَاهَا أَنْ تَحُجَّ قَالَ لا طَاعَةَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا فِي حَجَّةِ الإِسْلامِ فَلْتَحُجَّ إِنْ شَاءَتْ.
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman whose husband refuses to permit her to perform al-Hajj and she has not performed Hajjahta al-Islam. The husband who had prohibited her to perform Hajjahta al-Islam disappeared. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not obligatory for her to obey him in his prohibiting from Hajjahta al-Islam. She can perform al-Hajj whenever she likes.’”
2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَخْرُجُ مَعَ غَيْرِ وَلِيٍّ قَالَ لا بَأْسَ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهَا زَوْجٌ أَوِ ابْنُ أَخٍ قَادِرَيْنِ عَلَى أَنْ يَخْرُجَا مَعَهَا وَلَيْسَ لَهَا سَعَةٌ فَلا يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تَقْعُدَ وَلا يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ أَنْ يَمْنَعُوهَا.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who goes out with people other than her guardian. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful. If she has her husband or a son or brother who can go with her; but if she cannot provide their expenses, then it is not proper for her to sit without al-Hajj, and it is not proper for them to stop her from performing al-Hajj.’”
3ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ لَهَا زَوْجٌ وَهِيَ صَرُورَةٌ لا يَأْذَنُ لَهَا فِي الْحَجِّ قَالَ تَحُجُّ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَهَا.
3. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Aban from Zurarah who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the case of a woman who has a husband and it is her first al-Hajj but he does not give her permission to go for al-Hajj. He (the Imam) said, ‘She can perform al-Hajj even though he does not give permission.”
4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي الْمَرْأَةِ تُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ لَيْسَ مَعَهَا مَحْرَمٌ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ لَهَا الْحَجُّ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا كَانَتْ مَأْمُونَةً.
4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Hisham ibn Salim from Sulayman ibn Khalid who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman if she can go for al-Hajj without permission from her husband and there is no one with her of her guardians. He (the Imam) said, ‘She can do so, if she is safe.’”
5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ الْحُرَّةِ تَحُجُّ إِلَى مَكَّةَ بِغَيْرِ وَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ لا بَأْسَ تَخْرُجُ مَعَ قَوْمٍ ثِقَاتٍ.
5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Mu‘awiyah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who is free if she can perform al-Hajj in Makkah. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful if she goes with trustworthy people.’”

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ آبَائِهِ (عَلَيْهِم السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَا اسْتَخْلَفَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ بِخِلافَةٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَرْكَعُهُمَا إِذَا أَرَادَ الْخُرُوجَ إِلَى سَفَرٍ يَقُولُ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ نَفْسِي وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي وَذُرِّيَّتِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَآخِرَتِي وَأَمَانَتِي وَخَاتِمَةَ عَمَلِي إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ الله مَا سَأَلَ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy, from al-Sakuniy who has said the following from his ancestors: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ’No deputy is better for a man to leave behind for his family than two Rak’at salat (prayer). At the time of coming out, one should say, “O Lord, I leave in Your trust my family, property, children, my worldly affairs, my next life, my trust and end-result of my deeds”, Allah grants his appeals.’”
2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الأَحْوَلِ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْعِجْلِيِّ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَراً جَمَعَ عِيَالَهُ فِي بَيْتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ الْغَدَاةَ نَفْسِي وَمَالِي وَأَهْلِي وَوُلْدِي الشَّاهِدَ مِنَّا وَالْغَائِبَ اللهمَّ احْفَظْنَا وَاحْفَظْ عَلَيْنَا اللهمَّ اجْعَلْنَا فِي جِوَارِكَ اللهمَّ لا تَسْلُبْنَا نِعْمَتَكَ وَلا تُغَيِّرْ مَا بِنَا مِنْ عَافِيَتِكَ وَفَضْلِكَ.
2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from al-Harith ibn Muhammad al-Ahwal from Burayd ibn Mu‘awiyah al-‘Ijliy who has said the following: “When abu Ja’far (a.s.), wanted to leave for a journey, he would ask his family to come together in the house. He would then say, ‘O Allah, I leave in the morning in Your trust my soul, my possession, my family, my children, those present and those absent. O Allah, protect us and protect things important to us. O Allah, place us in Your neighborhood. O Allah, do not take away Your bounties from us and do not change the good health and favors that we enjoy.’”
3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَ يُكْرَهُ السَّفَرُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الأَيَّامِ الْمَكْرُوهَةِ الأَرْبِعَاءِ وَغَيْرِهِ فَقَالَ افْتَتِحْ سَفَرَكَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَاقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ إِذَا بَدَا لَكَ.
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman who has said the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), this question. ‘Is it detestable to leave for a journey at any particular day like Wednesday or so?’ He (the Imam) said, ’Begin your journey with giving charity and reading verse 255 of Chapter two when you decide to leave for your journey.’”
