1. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘If one of you whenever earning a certain profit, deducts a certain amount for the expenses of al-Hajj by the season of al-Hajj, he can have all of the expense for al-Hajj ready. He then can leave (to perform al-Hajj of the House of Allah). On the other hand, without such deduction at the time of al-Hajj, it may seem difficult for him to take the expenses for al-Hajj all at once from his profits. ‘“

You must not be an over- spender; that will reduce your interest in performing al-Hajj. ‘“
