Chapter on Zakat Al-Fitrah
2082 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ اَلْعَيَّاشِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نُصَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورُ بْنُ اَلْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ رَقِيقٌ بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهِ زَكَاةُ اَلْفِطْرَةِ قَالَ «إِذَا كَانَ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ رَأْسٌ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُؤَدِّيَ عَنْهُ فِطْرَتَهُ وَ إِذَا كَانَ عِدَّةُ اَلْعَبِيدِ وَ عِدَّةُ اَلْمَوَالِي سَوَاءً وَ كَانُوا جَمِيعاً فَهُمْ سَوَاءٌ أَدَّوْا زَكَاتَهُمْ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى قَدْرِ حِصَّتِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ أَقَلُّ مِنْ رَأْسٍ فَلاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِمْ ».
Hadith.2082 - It is narrated by Muhammad ibn Mas'ud Al-Ayyashi, who said: Muhammad ibn Nusair narrated to us, saying: Sahl ibn Ziyad narrated to us, saying: Mansur ibn Al-Abbas narrated to us, saying: Isma'il ibn Sahl narrated from Hammad ibn Isa, from Hariz, from Zurara, from Abu Abdullah (as), who said:
I asked him about slaves shared among a group of people, whether Zakat al-Fitr is obligatory on them.
Imam (as) said: "If each person owns a full share (equivalent to one head), then he must pay Zakat al-Fitr for that share. However, if the number of slaves and owners are equal and they are collectively owned, then they are equal in responsibility, and each must pay Zakat al-Fitr proportionate to their share. But if each person's share is less than a full head, then there is no obligation upon them."
2083 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ: بَعَثْتُ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِدَرَاهِمَ لِي وَ لِغَيْرِي وَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ أُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّهَا مِنْ فِطْرَةِ اَلْعِيَالِ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِخَطِّهِ «قَبَضْتُ ».
Hadith.2083 - It is narrated by Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Bazi', who said:
"I sent some dirhams to Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha (as) on behalf of myself and others, and I wrote to him informing him that it was for the Zakat al-Fitr of the dependents.
Imam (as) wrote back in his own handwriting: 'I have received it.'"
2084 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَدَّى زَكَاةَ اَلْفِطْرَةِ تَمَّمَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا مَا نَقَصَ مِنْ زَكَاةِ مَالِهِ».
Hadith.2084 - In a narration from Al-Sakuni, with his chain of transmission, it is reported that Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said:
"Whoever pays Zakat al-Fitr, Allah (swt) will complete with it whatever is lacking in the Zakat of his wealth."
2085 - وَ رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ وَ زُرَارَةَ قَالاَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «إِنَّ مِنْ تَمَامِ اَلصَّوْمِ إِعْطَاءُ اَلزَّكَاةِ يَعْنِي اَلْفِطْرَةَ كَمَا أَنَّ اَلصَّلاَةَ عَلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ مِنْ تَمَامِ اَلصَّلاَةِ لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ صَامَ وَ لَمْ يُؤَدِّ اَلزَّكَاةَ فَلاَ صَوْمَ لَهُ إِذَا تَرَكَهَا مُتَعَمِّداً وَ لاَ صَلاَةَ لَهُ إِذَا تَرَكَ اَلصَّلاَةَ عَلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ بَدَأَ بِهَا قَبْلَ اَلصَّلاَةِ قَالَ
« قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكّٰى. `وَ ذَكَرَ اِسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلّٰى »
Hadith.2085 - It is narrated by Hammad ibn Isa, from Hariz, from Abu Basir and Zurara, who both said that Abu Abdullah (as) said:
"Indeed, completing the fast includes giving Zakat, meaning Zakat al-Fitr, just as sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) is part of completing the prayer. For whoever fasts but does not pay the Zakat (al-Fitr), their fast is not accepted if they intentionally neglect it. Similarly, whoever prays but does not send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), their prayer is not complete.
Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, has mentioned it (Zakat) before prayer, saying:
'He indeed is successful who purifies himself and remembers the name of his Lord (azj) and prays.' (Surah Al-A'la 87:14-15)

Chapter on i'tikaf (spiritual retreat)
2086 - رَوَى اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لاَ اِعْتِكَافَ إِلاَّ بِصَوْمٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ اَلْجَامِعِ ».
Hadith.2086 - It is narrated by Al-Halabi from Abu Abdullah (as) that he said:
"There is no valid i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) except with fasting and in a congregational mosque."
2087 - قَالَ: «وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِذَا كَانَ اَلْعَشْرُ اَلْأَوَاخِرُ اِعْتَكَفَ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ وَ ضُرِبَتْ لَهُ قُبَّةٌ مِنْ شَعْرٍ وَ شَمَّرَ اَلْمِئْزَرَ وَ طَوَى فِرَاشَهُ » وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَ اِعْتَزَلَ اَلنِّسَاءَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «أَمَّا اِعْتِزَالُ اَلنِّسَاءِ فَلاَ».
Hadith.2087 - It is narrated:
"When the last ten nights of Month of Ramadan arrived, the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would perform i'tikaf in the mosque. A tent made of hair would be set up for him, he would tighten his waist wrap, and he would fold up his bedding."
Some people said he would also avoid the company of women.
Regarding this, Abu Abdullah (as) said: "As for avoiding women, no."
2088 - وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «كَانَتْ بَدْرٌ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَابِلٍ اِعْتَكَفَ عَشْرَيْنِ عَشْراً لِعَامِهِ وَ عَشْراً قَضَاءً لِمَا فَاتَهُ ».
Hadith.2088 - Abu Abdullah (as) said:
"The Battle of Badr occurred in the Month of Ramadan, so the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) did not perform i'tikaf that year. However, in the following year, he performed i'tikaf for twenty days: ten days for that year's obligation and ten days as compensation for what he had missed."
2089 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي اَلاِعْتِكَافِ بِبَغْدَادَ فِي بَعْضِ مَسَاجِدِهَا قَالَ «لاَ تَعْتَكِفْ إِلاَّ فِي مَسْجِدِ جَمَاعَةٍ قَدْ صَلَّى فِيهِ إِمَامٌ عَدْلٌ جَمَاعَةً وَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُعْتَكَفَ فِي مَسْجِدِ اَلْكُوفَةِ وَ اَلْبَصْرَةِ وَ مَسْجِدِ اَلْمَدِينَةِ وَ مَسْجِدِ مَكَّةَ ».
Hadith.2089 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Umar ibn Yazid, who said:
"I asked Abu Abdullah (as): 'What do you say about performing i'tikaf in Baghdad in some of its mosques?'
Imam (as) replied: 'Do not perform i'tikaf except in a congregational mosque where a just Imam has led the congregation in prayer. There is no harm in performing i'tikaf in the mosque of Kufa, the mosque of Basra, the mosque of Medina, and the mosque of Mecca.'"
2090 - وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ: «فِي مَسْجِدِ اَلْمَدَائِنِ ».
Hadith.2090 - It has also been narrated: "I'tikaf is permissible in the mosque of Al-Mada’in."
2091 - وَ رَوَى اَلْبَزَنْطِيُّ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «لاَ أَرَى اَلاِعْتِكَافَ إِلاَّ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ اَلْحَرَامِ أَوْ مَسْجِدِ اَلرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَوْ فِي مَسْجِدِ اَلْجَامِعِ وَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُعْتَكِفِ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ اَلْمَسْجِدِ اَلْجَامِعِ إِلاَّ لِحَاجَةٍ لاَ بُدَّ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ لاَ يَجْلِسُ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ ».
Hadith.2091 - It is narrated by Al-Bazanti, from Dawud ibn Sirhan, from Abu Abdullah (as), who said:
"I do not consider i'tikaf valid except in the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram), the Mosque of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), or a congregational mosque. The one performing i'tikaf should not leave the congregational mosque except for a necessity that cannot be avoided, and they should not sit until they return. The same applies to women."
