“I saw ‘Umm Farwah perform Tawaf around the Ka‘bah wearing a colorless gown. She touched the Black Stone with her left hand and a man said, ‘O female servant of Allah, you made a mistake in following the noble tradition (of the Holy Prophet).’ ‘We are not in need of your knowledge,’ she responded.”

‘When you throw pebbles, then buy your offering, if it is badanah or cow, otherwise, make it a young fatty ram, if you do not find, then do what is available for you.

2. In the narration of Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, it is said that the hide of animal for offering can be used for beneficial purposes or purchase thereby goods, but to give them as charity is better. He (the Imam) said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who visits the House before shaving his head. He (the Imam) said, ’It is not proper unless it is because of forgetfulness.’ He (the Imam) then said, ’People came to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services t
