1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Wahab ibn ‘ Abd Rabbihi who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), if al-Hajj can be performed on behalf of one hostile to ’A’immah. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it cannot be performed.’ I then asked, ‘Even if he is my father?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If he is your father it is permissible.’”

2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Mahziyar from who has said the following: “I once wrote to him (the Imam) and asked, ‘If one performs al-Hajj for one hostile to ’A’immah, is it a sin and does it benefit the person hostile to ’A’immah, ‘Alayhim al-Salam ? He (the Imam) said, ‘al- Hajj is not performed for one hostile to ’A’immah and al-Hajj is not performed with him.’”

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from those narrated to him from Ibrahim ibn Mahziyar who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu Muhammad (a.s.), saying, ‘Your follower, Ali ibn Mahziyar has said in his will to perform al-Hajj on his behalf from an asset of which one-fourth is for you, every year one al-Hajj up to twenty dinar. The road through al-Basra is cut off and the expenses have increased; people charge more than twenty dinar and so also many of your followers have said in their wills. He (the Imam) wrote in answer, ‘Three al-Hajj must be made as two al-Hajj by the will of Allah.’”

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has said that Muhammad ibn al-Husayniy wrote to me saying that the son of his uncle has said in his will to perform al-Hajj for him with fifteen dinar every year; but it is not sufficient; what do you command in this matter? He (the Imam) wrote, ‘Two al-Hajj is made one al-Hajj; Allah knows it best.’”
