Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh

وَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ ذُو دَيْنٍ فَأَتَدَيَّنُ وَ أَحُجُّ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ هُوَ أَقْضَى لِلدَّيْنِ ».

A man asked Abu Abdullah (a.s): "I am a man in debt. Should I borrow money and perform Hajj?" Imam (a.s) replied: "Yes, it is more effective in settling the debt."

وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ اَلْعَطَّارِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ اَلدَّيْنُ فَيَقَعُ فِي يَدِيَ اَلدَّرَاهِمُ فَإِنْ وَزَّعْتُهَا بَيْنَهُمْ لَمْ يَقَعْ شَيْئاً أَ فَأَحُجُّ أَوْ أُوَزِّعُهَا بَيْنَ اَلْغُرَمَاءِ قَالَ «حُجَّ بِهَا وَ اُدْعُ اَللَّهَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ عَنْكَ دَيْنَكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى».

Ibn Mahbub narrated from Aban, from Al-Hasan ibn Ziyad al-‘Attar, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "I have debt, and some dirhams come into my possession. If I divide them among my creditors, they will not settle anything significant. Should I use them for Hajj, or should I distribute them among the creditors?" Imam (a.s) said: "Perform Hajj with them, and pray to Allah (swt) to help you settle your debt, God willing."

رَوَى أَبَانٌ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ لَهَا زَوْجٌ وَ هِيَ صَرُورَةٌ وَ لاَ يَأْذَنُ لَهَا فِي اَلْحَجِّ قَالَ «تَحُجُّ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَهَا ».

Aban narrated from Zurara, from Abu Ja'far (a.s), who said: I asked him about a woman who has a husband, has not performed Hajj before (ṣarūra), and her husband does not permit her to go for Hajj. Imam (a.s) said: "She should perform Hajj, even if he does not permit her."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «تَحُجُّ وَ إِنْ رَغِمَ أَنْفُهُ ».

In a narration from Abdul-Rahman ibn Abi Abdullah, from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s), Imam (a.s) said: "She should perform Hajj, even if it displeases him."

وَ رَوَى إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ اَلْمُوسِرَةِ قَدْ حَجَّتْ حَجَّةَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ فَتَقُولُ لِزَوْجِهَا أَ حِجَّنِي مَرَّةً أُخْرَى أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَمْنَعَهَا قَالَ «نَعَمْ يَقُولُ لَهَا حَقِّي عَلَيْكِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ حَقِّكِ عَلَيَّ فِي ذَا ».

Ishaq ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Ibrahim (a.s), who said: I asked him about a wealthy woman who had already performed the Hajj of Islam but said to her husband, "Take me for Hajj again." Can he prevent her from going? Imam (a.s) said: "Yes, he can say to her, 'My right over you is greater than your right over me in this matter.'"

رُوِيَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ تَخْرُجُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ بِغَيْرِ وَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ تَخْرُجُ مَعَ قَوْمٍ ثِقَاتٍ.

It was narrated from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a woman traveling to Mecca without a guardian. Imam (a.s) said: "There is no harm if she travels with trustworthy people."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلْمَرْأَةِ تُرِيدُ اَلْحَجَّ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهَا مَحْرَمٌ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ لَهَا اَلْحَجُّ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ إِذَا كَانَتْ مَأْمُونَةً ».

In a narration from Hisham, from Sulayman ibn Khalid, from Abu Abdullah (a.s), regarding a woman who wants to perform Hajj but does not have a mahram (close male relative), he (a.s) was asked: "Is it permissible for her to perform Hajj?" Imam (a.s) said: "Yes, if she is trustworthy."

وَ رَوَى اَلْبَزَنْطِيُّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ اَلْجَمَّالِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَدْ عَرَفْتَنِي بِعَمَلِي تَأْتِينِي اَلْمَرْأَةُ أَعْرِفُهَا بِإِسْلاَمِهَا وَ حُبِّهَا إِيَّاكُمْ وَ وَلاَيَتِهَا لَكُمْ لَيْسَ لَهَا مَحْرَمٌ قَالَ «إِذَا جَاءَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ اَلْمُسْلِمَةُ فَاحْمِلْهَا فَإِنَّ اَلْمُؤْمِنَ مَحْرَمُ اَلْمُؤْمِنَةِ » ثُمَّ تَلاَ هَذِهِ اَلْآيَةَ وَ اَلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَ اَلْمُؤْمِنٰاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيٰاءُ بَعْضٍ

Al-Bazanti narrated from Safwan al-Jammal, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "You know my profession. A woman comes to me, and I know her to be Muslim, to love you, and to hold your guardianship (wilayah), but she has no mahram (close male relative)." Imam (a.s) said: "If a Muslim woman comes, then take her, for a believer is a mahram for a believing woman." He then recited the verse: 'And the believing men and believing women are allies of one another.' (Surah At-Tawbah 9:71).

رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اَلْمُطَلَّقَةُ تَحُجُّ فِي عِدَّتِهَا ».

Al-'Ala' narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from one of the Imams (a.s), who said: "A divorced woman may perform Hajj during her waiting period ('iddah)."

وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ اَلَّتِي يُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا أَ تَحُجُّ فِي عِدَّتِهَا قَالَ «نَعَمْ».

Ibn Bukayr narrated from Zurara, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a woman whose husband has passed away: "Can she perform Hajj during her waiting period ('iddah)?" Imam (a.s) said: "Yes."
