Illness & Healing

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص حِينَ صُدَّ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَصَّرَ وَ أَحَلَّ وَ نَحَرَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ مِنْهَا وَ لَمْ يَجِبْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَلْقُ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ النُّسُكَ فَأَمَّا الْمَحْصُورُ فَإِنَّمَا يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ التَّقْصِيرُ[4].

“When the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause was prevented at al-Hudaybiyah from performing al-Hajj, he (the Messenger of Allah) did Taqsir (cutting some hair or finger nails and so on). He (the Messenger of Allah) then came out of the state

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who is in the state of Ihram and his leg is broken and about his condition and what he owes. He (the Imam) said, ’He is out of the state of Ihram about all things.’ I then asked, ’Even women, clothes and perfume are lawful for him?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, everything th

“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘Al-Mahsur (confined) is different from al- Masdud (prevented). Al-Mahsur (confined) is one who suffers from an illness, and al-Masdud (prevented) is one who is prevented by the pagans, as they prevented the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his

إِذَا أُحْصِرَ الرَّجُلُ بَعَثَ بِهَدْيِهِ فَإِذَا أَفَاقَ وَ وَجَدَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ خِفَّةً فَلْيَمْضِ إِنْ ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ يُدْرِكُ النَّاسَ فَإِنْ قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْحَرَ الْهَدْيَ فَلْيُقِمْ عَلَى إِحْرَامِهِ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمَنَاسِكِ وَ لْيَنْحَرْ هَدْيَهُ وَ لَا شَيْ‌ءَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ وَ قَدْ نَحَرَ هَدْيَهُ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ الْحَجَّ مِنْ قَابِلٍ أَوِ الْعُمْرَةَ[1] قُلْ

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘When one becomes al-Mahsur (confined) he sends his offering. If he gets well and feels light, he continues, if he thinks that he can catch up with people. If he comes to Makkah before the offering is slaughtered, he can continue with his Ihram until completion of all acts, slaughter his o

‘He completes all other acts and returns home, and if he cannot pay for the offering, he must fast.’”

إِذَا أُحْصِرَ الرَّجُلُ فَبَعَثَ بِهَدْيِهِ فَآذَاهُ رَأْسُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْحَرَ هَدْيَهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَذْبَحُ شَاةً فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي أُحْصِرَ فِيهِ أَوْ يَصُومُ أَوْ يَتَصَدَّقُ وَ الصَّوْمُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ وَ الصَّدَقَةُ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ نِصْفُ صَاعٍ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one becomes al-Mahsur (confined) and sends his offering then his head annoys him before the offering is slaughtered, he must slaughter a sheep wherever he is. Alternatively, he must fast or give charity. Fasting is three days and charity is to feed six destitute people each with a

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who decides to perform al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous) but he becomes al-Mahsur (confined); if this is sufficient for him not to perform al-Hajj in future. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required to perform al-Hajj in future and so also is (deciding just for) al-Hajj, if

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who is referred to Sultan who has held him unjustly on the day of ‘Arafah from attending. He is sent to Makkah in jail. On the day of al-Nahr (offering sacrifice) he is released. What should he do? He (the Imam) said, ‘He must catch up to stay at the gathering place (‘Ara

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘Al-Masdud (prevented) offers an animal for slaughtering wherever he is prevented and returns home. Women are lawful for him. Al-Mahsur (confined) sends his offering, sets up a certain time and when the offering reaches its place, he in his place comes out of the state of Ihram.’ I then as

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who in the state of Ihram breaks the horn of a deer. He (the Imam) said, ‘He owes a ransom.’ I then asked about his breaking one of its hand (front legs). He (the Imam) said, ‘If he breaks its hand and does not treat it to cure, he owes one sheep.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of the Black Stone if one cannot touch it because of the crowd. He (the Imam) said, ‘Old people, the weak ones and those suffering from illness are excused. I do not like your ignoring to touch the Black Stone, unless you cannot find any opportunity to touch it.’”

“I saw abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), being carried for Tawaf around al-Ka‘bah in a carriage and he was seriously ill. Whenever he would reach al-Yemaniy corner he commanded to place him on the ground, and he would extend his hand from the carriage and pull it on the ground then say, ’Lift me up.’ When he did so many times in

الْمَبْطُونُ وَ الْكَسِيرُ يُطَافُ عَنْهُمَا وَ يُرْمَى عَنْهُمَا الْجِمَارُ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who has trouble in his stomach or broken body parts is carried for Tawaf and al-Jamar (pebbles) are thrown for him.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَرِيضِ الْمَغْلُوبِ يُطَافُ عَنْهُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ يُطَافُ بِهِ.

“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about a man who is ill; if Tawaf around al-Ka‘bah can be made for him. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he can be carried around al-Ka‘bah for Tawaf.’”

الصِّبْيَانُ يُطَافُ بِهِمْ وَ يُرْمَى عَنْهُمْ قَالَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مَرِيضَةً لَا تَعْقِلُ يُطَافُ بِهَا أَوْ يُطَافُ عَنْهَا.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Children must be carried for Tawaf and al-Jamar (pebbles) are thrown on their behalf.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a woman is ill and cannot understand she can be carried for Tawaf or Tawaf can be made on her behalf.’”

“I was next to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and with him (the Imam) was his son ‘Abd Allah and his other son born after him. A man asked him (the Imam), ‘May Allah keep you well, can a man perform Tawaf for a man who lives in Makkah and who has no difficulties?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, if that was permissible I would have a

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) and has said Talbiyah for al-Hajj. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must not perform Tawaf until he attends ‘Arafah; if he performs Tawaf before attending Mina’ without illness, that Tawaf is not counted.’”
