I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a ṣarūra (one who has not performed Hajj): "Can they perform Hajj using Zakat funds?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes."
أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ أَوْصَتْ بِمَالٍ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ وَ الْحَجِّ وَ الْعِتْقِ فَقَالَ ابْدَأْ بِالْحَجِّ فَإِنَّهُ مَفْرُوضٌ فَإِنْ بَقِيَ شَيْءٌ فَاجْعَلْ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ طَائِفَةً وَ فِي الْعِتْقِ طَائِفَةً[3].
I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a woman who instructed in her will for her wealth to be used for charity, Hajj, and freeing slaves. Imam (as) said: "Begin with Hajj, for it is obligatory. If anything remains, allocate a portion for charity and a portion for freeing slaves."
وَ قَالَ ع يَدْخُلُ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ فِي قَبْرِهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَ الصَّوْمُ وَ الْحَجُ وَ الصَّدَقَةُ وَ الْعِتْقُ[1].
Hadith.2972 - Imam (as) said: "Prayer, fasting, Hajj, charity, and emancipation (of slaves) reach the deceased in their grave."
يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلرَّجُلِ وَ الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ لَا يَخْرُجَا مِنْ مَكَّةَ حَتَّى يَشْتَرِيَا بِدِرْهَمٍ تَمْراً فَيَتَصَدَّقَا بِهِ لِمَا كَانَ مِنْهُمَا فِي
يَأْكُلُ مِنْ أُضْحِيَّتِهِ وَ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِالْفِدَاءِ[2].
Hadith.3057 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about the atonement for hunting: can the individual eat from its meat? Imam (as) replied: "He eats from his sacrificial offering and gives the atonement in charity."
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ[2] قَالَ كُنَّا بِمَكَّةَ فَأَصَابَنَا غَلَاءٌ فِي الْأَضَاحِيِّ فَاشْتَرَيْنَا بِدِينَارٍ ثُمَّ بِدِينَارَيْنِ ثُمَّ بَلَغَتْ سَبْعَةً ثُمَّ لَمْ نَجِدْ بِقَلِيلٍ وَ لَا كَثِيرٍ فَوَقَّعَ هِشَامٌ الْمُكَارِي إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع بِذَلِكَ فَوَقَّعَ إِلَيْهِ انْظُرُوا الثَّمَنَ الْأَوَّلَ وَ الثَّانِيَ وَ الثَّالِثَ فَاجْمَعُوهُ ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقُوا بِمِثْلِ ثُلُثِهِ[3].
Hadith.3063 - It is narrated from Abdullah ibn Umar: "We were in Mecca, and the prices of sacrificial animals increased. We bought for one dinar, then for two dinars, and then it reached seven dinars, and after that, we could not find any—neither for a little nor a lot. Hisham al-Mukari wrote to Abu al-Hasan (as) about
لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَجُلٌ سَاقَ الْهَدْيَ فَعَطِبَ[4] فِي مَوْضِعٍ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى مَنْ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ هَدْيٌ فَقَالَ يَنْحَرُهُ وَ يَكْتُبُ كِتَاباً يَضَعُهُ عَلَيْهِ لِيَعْلَمَ مَنْ مَرَّ بِهِ أَنَّهُ صَدَقَةٌ[5].
I said to Abu Abdullah (as), "A man brought a hady (sacrificial animal), and it perished in a place where he could not find anyone to give it in charity, nor would anyone know that it is a hady." Imam (as) replied: "He should slaughter it and place a written note on it so that whoever passes by it knows that it is char
إِنْ بَاعَهُ فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ بِثَمَنِهِ وَ يُهْدِي هَدْياً آخَرَ[1].
I asked him about a hady (obligatory sacrificial animal) that suffers a fracture or injury—can it be sold, and if sold, what should be done with its price? Imam (as) replied: "If he sells it, he should give its price in charity and offer another sacrificial animal."

I heard him say: "A man from the descendants of Musa, whose name is the name of the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) will emerge. He will be buried in the land of Tus, which is in Khurasan. He will be killed there by poison and buried there as a stranger. Whoever visits him, recognizing his right,

Hadith.3471 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a mukatab (a slave under a contract of emancipation) who was unable to complete the payments of his contract, although he had already paid part of it. Imam (as) said: "The remaining amount should be paid on his behalf from the charity funds, as Allah (

I asked Abu Abdullah (as), about a man who wanted to free his slave. The master had been taking an annual payment (tribute) from the slave and was satisfied with this arrangement. Meanwhile, the slave earned wealth from trade, in addition to paying the required tribute to his master. Abu Abdullah (as), said: "If the sl
