Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh

وَ قَالَ وَهْبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ لِلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَ يَحُجُّ اَلرَّجُلُ عَنِ اَلنَّاصِبِ فَقَالَ «لاَ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ أَبِي فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ أَبَاكَ فَحُجَّ عَنْهُ.

Wahb ibn Abd Rabbih said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s): "Can a man perform Hajj on behalf of a Nasibi (one who harbors enmity toward the Ahlulbayt)?" Imam (a.s) replied: "No." I said: "What if it was my father?" Imam (a.s) said: "If it was your father, then perform Hajj on his behalf."

وَ رُوِيَ: أَنَّ اَلصَّادِقَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَعْطَى رَجُلاً ثَلاَثِينَ دِينَاراً فَقَالَ لَهُ «حُجَّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ اِفْعَلْ وَ اِفْعَلْ وَ لَكَ تِسْعٌ وَ لَهُ وَاحِدَةٌ ».

It was narrated that Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) gave a man thirty dinars and said to him: "Perform Hajj on behalf of Isma'il, and do this and that, and you shall have nine [portions of reward], while he shall have one."

وَرَوَى أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى الْأَزْرَقِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، قَالَ: "مَنْ حَجَّ عَنْ إِنْسَانٍ ٱشْتَرَكَا حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ ٱنْقَطَعَتِ ٱلشَّرِكَةُ، فَمَا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ كَانَ لِذَلِكَ ٱلْحَاجِّ."

Aban ibn Uthman narrated from Yahya al-Azraq, from Abu Abdullah (a.s), who said: "Whoever performs Hajj on behalf of another person, they share in the reward until the obligatory Tawaf is completed. After that, any act performed is for the one performing the Hajj."

وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ أَعْطَى رَجُلاً مَالاً يَحُجُّ عَنْهُ فَحَجَّ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ «هِيَ عَنْ صَاحِبِ اَلْمَالِ ».

Imam (a.s) said regarding a man who gave money to another to perform Hajj on his behalf, but the person performed Hajj for himself instead: "It is on behalf of the one who provided the money."

وَ رَوَى حَرِيزٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلصَّرُورَةِ أَ يَحُجُّ مِنْ مَالِ اَلزَّكَاةِ قَالَ «نَعَمْ ».

Hariz narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a ṣarūra (one who has not performed Hajj): "Can they perform Hajj using Zakat funds?" Imam (a.s) replied: "Yes."

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَخْرُجُ فِي تِجَارَةٍ إِلَى مَكَّةَ أَوْ يَكُونُ لَهُ إِبِلٌ فَيُكْرِيهَا حَجَّتُهُ نَاقِصَةٌ أَوْ تَامَّةٌ قَالَ «لاَ بَلْ حَجَّتُهُ تَامَّةٌ.

It was narrated from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "A man travels for trade to Mecca or has camels that he rents out. Is his Hajj considered incomplete or complete?" Imam (a.s) said: "No, rather his Hajj is complete."

رُوِيَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ حَجَّةُ اَلْجَمَّالِ تَامَّةٌ أَمْ نَاقِصَةٌ قَالَ «تَامَّةٌ» قُلْتُ حَجَّةُ اَلْأَجِيرِ تَامَّةٌ أَوْ نَاقِصَةٌ قَالَ «تَامَّةٌ.

It was narrated from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "Is the Hajj of a camel driver complete or incomplete?" Imam (a.s) said: "It is complete." I asked: "Is the Hajj of a hired worker complete or incomplete?" Imam (a.s) said: "It is complete."

رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ ضُرَيْسٍ اَلْكُنَاسِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَلَيْهِ حَجَّةُ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ نَذَرَ نَذْراً فِي شُكْرٍ لَيُحِجَّنَّ بِهِ رَجُلاً إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَمَاتَ اَلَّذِي نَذَرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحُجَّ حَجَّةَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَفِيَ بِنَذْرِهِ اَلَّذِي نَذَرَ قَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ تَرَكَ مَالاً يُحَجُّ عَنْهُ حَجَّةُ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ اَلْمَالِ وَ أُخْرِجَ مِنْ ثُلُثِهِ مَا يَحُجُّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ لِنَذْرِهِ وَ قَدْ وَفَى بِالنَّذْرِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً إِلاَّ بِقَدْرِ مَا يُحَجُّ بِهِ حَجَّةُ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ حُجَّ عَنْهُ بِمَا تَرَكَ وَ يَحُجُّ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ حَجَّةَ اَلنَّذْرِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِثْلُ دَيْنٍ عَلَيْهِ ».

Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Ri'ab, from Durays al-Kunasi, who said: I asked Abu Ja'far (a.s) about a man who was obligated to perform the Hajj of Islam but made a vow of gratitude to send another man to perform Hajj to Mecca on his behalf. The man died before performing the Hajj of Islam and before fulfilling the vow he had made. Imam (a.s) said: "If he left wealth, the Hajj of Islam should be performed on his behalf from his entire estate, and from one-third of his estate, funds should be allocated to send a man to fulfill the vow he made. In this way, the vow will have been fulfilled. However, if he left only enough wealth for the Hajj of Islam, it should be used for that purpose, and his heir should perform the Hajj of the vow on his behalf, as the vow is akin to a debt upon him."

رَوَى عُمَرُ بْنُ أُذَيْنَةَ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ حَجَّ وَ لاَ يَدْرِي وَ لاَ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا اَلْأَمْرَ ثُمَّ مَنَّ اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ اَلدَّيْنُونَةِ بِهِ أَ عَلَيْهِ حَجَّةُ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ قَالَ «قَدْ قَضَى فَرِيضَةَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اَلْحَجُّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ».

Umar ibn Udhaynah narrated: I wrote to Abu Abdullah (a.s) asking about a man who performed Hajj without knowing or recognizing this [truthful] matter. Then Allah (swt) blessed him with understanding and adherence to it. Is the Hajj of Islam still obligatory upon him? Imam (a.s) replied: "He has fulfilled the obligation of Allah (swt), the Exalted, but performing Hajj again is more beloved to me."

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْخُرَاسَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ اَلثَّانِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي حَجَجْتُ وَ أَنَا مُخَالِفٌ وَ حَجَجْتُ حَجَّتِي هَذِهِ وَ قَدْ مَنَّ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيَّ بِمَعْرِفَتِكُمْ وَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اَلَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ كَانَ بَاطِلاً فَمَا تَرَى فِي حَجَّتِي قَالَ «اِجْعَلْ هَذِهِ حَجَّةَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ تِلْكَ نَافِلَةً ».

It was narrated from Abu Abdullah al-Khurasani, from Abu Ja'far al-Thani, Imam Muhammad al-Jawad (a.s), who said: I said to him: "I performed Hajj while I was a dissenter, and now I have performed this Hajj after Allah (swt), the Exalted, has blessed me with the knowledge of you (Ahlulbayt). I have come to know that what I was upon was false. What is your view of my previous Hajj?" Imam (a.s) said: "Make this [current] Hajj the Hajj of Islam, and consider the previous one as a supererogatory (nafl) Hajj."
