Hadith.2946 - Ali ibn Ri'ab narrated from Misma' ibn Abdul-Malik, from Abu Abdullah (as), regarding a man who performs an independent Umrah (Umrah Mufradah), then performs the Tawaf of obligation around the Ka'bah, but has marital relations with his wife before performing Sa'i between Safa and Marwah. Imam (as) said: "

I asked Abu Abdullah (as): "We have entered Mecca for Umrah. Should we trim (taqsir) or shave (halq)?" Imam (as) said: "Shave, for the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) invoked mercy for those who shave their heads three times and for those who trim their hair only once."

I asked him about a man performing Hajj on behalf of his brother, his father, or another person. Should he say anything specific? Imam (as) said: "Yes, after entering into Ihram, he should say: 'O Allah (swt), whatever hardship, difficulty, trial, or dishevelment I experience during this journey, grant its reward to [t

Hadith.2982 - The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) stood at Jam‘ (Muzdalifah), and people rushed to the place where the hooves of his camel were. He (sw) gestured with his hand while standing and said: "I am standing here, but all of this is a valid place of standing (Mawqif)."

Hadith.3065 - Ali ibn Ja'far asked his brother Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) about a sacrificial animal: if the one slaughtering it mistakenly mentions a name other than its owner, does it suffice for the owner of the sacrifice? Imam (as) replied: "Yes, it is for the one who intended it."

It is narrated from the Imams (as): "If the Mutamatti' (pilgrim performing Hajj Tamattu') finds the sacrificial animal but cannot afford its price, he must fast for three days during Hajj—one day before the Day of Tarwiyah, the Day of Tarwiyah itself, and the Day of Arafah—and seven days when he returns to his family,

«أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مُقَامٌ بِمَكَّةَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَصُومَ اَلسَّبْعَةَ تَرَكَ اَلصِّيَامَ بِقَدْرِ سَيْرِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ أَوْ شَهْراً ثُمَّ صَامَ ».

Hadith.3099 - In a narration from Muawiyah ibn Ammar, from Abu Abdullah (as): "If a person resides in Mecca and wishes to fast the seven days, he should delay the fast for a period equivalent to the time it would take to travel to his family or for a month, and then begin fasting."

Hadith.3103 - It is narrated from Imran al-Halabi that Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a man who forgot to fast the three days required of the Mutamatti' if he could not find a sacrificial animal, until he returned to his family. Imam (as) said: "He should send a sacrificial animal (as compensation)."

«اَلْمَحْصُورُ غَيْرُ اَلْمَصْدُودِ» وَ قَالَ «اَلْمَحْصُورُ هُوَ اَلْمَرِيضُ وَ اَلْمَصْدُودُ هُوَ اَلَّذِي يَرُدُّهُ اَلْمُشْرِكُونَ كَمَا رَدُّوا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَصْحَابَهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ مَرَضٍ وَ اَلْمَصْدُودُ تَحِلُّ لَهُ اَلنِّسَاءُ وَ اَلْمَحْصُورُ لاَ تَحِلُّ لَهُ اَلنِّسَاءُ ».

Hadith.3104 - Muawiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) that he said: "The Mahsur (prevented) is not the same as the Masdood (barred)."

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who sends a sacrificial animal voluntarily, not as an obligation. Imam (as) said: "He should agree with his companions on a specific day, and they should mark it (as a sacrificial animal). From that moment, he must avoid what a person in Ihram avoids until the Day of Sacrifice. Whe
