“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked, ‘Where from are children required to assume the state of Ihram?’ He (the Imam) said, ’My father would make them to assume the state of Ihram from Fakhkh (name of a place).”’
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ مَعِي صِبْيَةً صِغَاراً وَ أَنَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَرْدَ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ يُحْرِمُونَ قَالَ ائْتِ بِهِمُ الْعَرْجَ فَيُحْرِمُوا مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا أَتَيْتَ الْعَرْجَ[1] وَقَعْتَ فِي تِهَامَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ فَإِنْ خِفْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَائْتِ بِهِمُ الْجُحْفَةَ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of small children with me and I am afraid for them of cold. Where from must they assume the state of Ihram? He (the Imam) said, ‘Bring them to al-‘Arj (a place) and you are in Tihamah (a place).’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘If you are afraid for them, bring them to al-J

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘See if there are children with you, bring them to al- Juhfah or to Batn Marr and do for them what a person in the state of Ihram must do. They are made to perform Tawaf, throw pebbles; and if one cannot find offering animal for them, his guardian must fast for them. Ali ibn Al-Husayn
لَيْسَ عَلَى الْمَمْلُوكِ حَجٌّ وَ لَا عُمْرَةٌ حَتَّى يُعْتَقَ.
“Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), has said, ‘A slave is not obligated to perform al-Hajj or al-‘Umrah until he is free.’”

‘Instruct them to take Ghusl (bath), assume the state of Ihram, slaughter for them as you slaughter (the offering animal) for yourself.’”
كُلُّ مَا أَصَابَ الْعَبْدُ وَ هُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فِي إِحْرَامِهِ فَهُوَ عَلَى السَّيِّدِ إِذَا أَذِنَ لَهُ فِي الْإِحْرَامِ.
“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Whatever a slave may commit in the state of Ihram is on his master, if he gives him permission to assume the state of Ihram.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ غُلَامٍ لَنَا خَرَجْتُ بِهِ مَعِي وَ أَمَرْتُهُ فَتَمَتَّعَ وَ أَهَلَّ بِالْحَجِّ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَ لَمْ أَذْبَحْ عَنْهُ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَصُومَ بَعْدَ النَّفْرِ وَ قَدْ ذَهَبَتِ الْأَيَّامُ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَقَالَ أَلَا كُنْتَ أَمَرْتَهُ أَنْ يُفْرِدَ الْحَجَّ قُلْتُ طَلَبْتُ الْخَيْرَ فَقَالَ كَمَا طَلَبْتَ الْخَيْرَ فَاذْبَحْ شَاةً سَمِينَةً[3] وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ النَّفْ
“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about the case of our slave who came with us with his wife, performed al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) and said Talbiyah for al-Hajj on the day of al- Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah), but I did not offer sacrifice for him.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who instructed his slaves to perform al- Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous). He (the Imam) said, ‘He must offer al-Hady (sacrifice) for them.’ I then said, ‘He gave them dirham. Certain ones among them offered sacrifice and others kept the dirham and fasted.’ He (the Imam)

“If a man in his will says to perform al-Hajj on his behalf, abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If it is his first al-Hajj, it is performed from his entire legacy. It is like debts, but if it is other than his first al-Hajj, then it is performed from one-third of his legacy. If one dies without performing Hajjahta al-I

“I once asked abu al-Hassan, Musa (a.s.), about a man who has not performed any al-Hajj, performs al-Hajj on behalf of a deceased. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so if he does not find any means to perform al-Hajj for himself. However, if he has enough to perform al-Hajj for himself, then it is not enough until he

“About the case of an al-Sarura (one who performs al-Hajj for the first time) who dies without performing Hajjahta al-Islam and has an asset, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘An al- Sarura (one who performs al-Hajj for the first time) who does not have any asset performs al-Hajj on his behalf.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who dies and says in his will to perform al-Hajj on his behalf, and a man is given expenses of al-Hajj to perform al-Hajj on behalf of the deceased but he also dies before performing al-Hajj, then dirhams are given to someone else.

“About a man who pays another man to perform al-Hajj but something happens to him, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If he (the second man) goes for al-Hajj and something happens somewhere on the way, it is sufficient for the first one.’”

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who left a certain amount in deposit with me and he died. His sons do not have anything and he had not performed Hajjahta al-Islam. He (the Imam) said, ‘Perform al-Hajj on his behalf and whatever is left, give it to his heirs.”’

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of an al-Sarurah (one who performs al- Hajj for the first time) woman who performs al-Hajj on behalf of an al-Sarurah man.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman from our people whose brother has died and has said in his will to perform al-Hajj on his behalf.

إِنْ كَانَ حَجَّ الْأَجِيرُ أُخِذَتْ حَجَّتُهُ وَ دُفِعَتْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الْمَالِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ حَجَّ كُتِبَ لِصَاحِبِ الْمَالِ ثَوَابُ الْحَجِ[3].
“About a man who receives a certain amount to perform al-Hajj for another person and he does not perform al-Hajj but he dies and leaves nothing behind. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If the man hiring himself has performed al-Hajj, it is taken from him to be given to the owner of the asset; but if he has not perform
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَأَعْطَاهُ ثَلَاثِينَ دِينَاراً يَحُجُّ بِهَا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ إِلَّا اشْتَرَطَهُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى اشْتَرَطَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَسْعَى عَنْ وَادِي مُحَسِّرٍ[1] ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا هَذَا إِذَا أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا كَانَ لِإِسْمَاعِيلَ حَجَّةٌ بِمَا أَنْفَقَ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَ كَانَ لَكَ تِسْعٌ بِمَا أَتْعَب
“Once I was in the presence of abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when someone came, and he (the Imam) gave him thirty dinar to perform al-Hajj for ‘Isma‘il, and set a condition to perform all acts of al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah, even walking in manner of running in Muhassar valley. He (the Imam) then said, ‘O so and so, if you did as t
قُلْتُ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ يَحُجُّ عَنْ آخَرَ مَا لَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ وَ الثَّوَابِ قَالَ لِلَّذِي يَحُجُّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَجْرُ وَ ثَوَابُ عَشْرِ حِجَجٍ[3].
“I once asked Abi ‘Abdillah (a.s.), about a man who performs Hajj for others; if he receives any reward. He (the Imam) said, ‘For the one who performs Hajj for another person there is a reward of ten Hajj pilgrimages for him.’”
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع رَجُلٌ دَفَعَ إِلَى خَمْسَةِ نَفَرٍ حَجَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَقَالَ يَحُجُّ بِهَا بَعْضُهُمْ فَسَوَّغَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ لِي كُلُّهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ فِي الْأَجْرِ فَقُلْتُ لِمَنِ الْحَجُّ قَالَ لِمَنْ صَلَّى فِي الْحَرِّ وَ الْبَرْدِ[4].
“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who has given to five people for one al- Hajj; then says that one from among them perform al-Hajj. Then one man among them completes it. He (the Imam) said, ‘All of them have a share in the reward for al-Hajj.’ I then asked, ‘To whom belongs al-Hajj?’ He (the Imam) said,
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُعْطَى الْحَجَّةَ يَحُجُّ بِهَا وَ يُوَسِّعُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَيَفْضُلُ مِنْهَا أَ يَرُدُّهَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ لَا هِيَ لَهُ[1].
“I once asked abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’ (a.s.), about a man who is paid for al-Hajj and he spends openhandedly, but still a certain amount remains with him; if he is required to return it to the payer. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it belongs to him.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَأْخُذُ الدَّرَاهِمَ لِيَحُجَّ بِهَا عَنْ رَجُلٍ هَلْ يَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يُنْفِقَ مِنْهَا فِي غَيْرِ الْحَجِّ قَالَ إِذَا ضَمِنَ الْحَجَّ فَالدَّرَاهِمُ لَهُ يَصْنَعُ بِهَا مَا أَحَبَّ وَ عَلَيْهِ حَجَّةٌ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is paid for performing al-Hajj for another person; if he can spend from such amount for other things. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he guarantees al-Hajj, dirhams belong to him with which he can do whatever he wants, but he owes al- Hajj.’”
بَعَثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْأَحْوَلِ بِدَرَاهِمَ وَ قَالَ قُلْ لَهُ إِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَحُجَّ بِهَا فَلْيَحُجَّ وَ إِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُنْفِقَهَا فَلْيُنْفِقْهَا قَالَ فَأَنْفَقَهَا وَ لَمْ يَحُجَّ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ أَصْحَابُنَا- لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ وَجَدْتُمُ الشَّيْخَ فَقِيهاً[2].
‘Umar ibn Yazid sent me to abu Ja’far al-Ahwal with a certain amount of dirham and asked me to tell him to perform al-Hajj with it if he wanted, or if he wanted to benefit in other ways, he can do so. He spent it for other things and did not perform al-Hajj . Certain persons of our people mentioned it to abu ‘Abd Allah

‘My master, I hope to fast during the month of Ramadan in al-Madinah.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You will do so by the will of Allah.’ I then said, ‘I hope to leave by the tenth of the month of Shawwal after visiting the Messenger of Allah, his family and yourself, may Allah grant me such opportunity again.

“I once said to abu Ja‘far, the second ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘I want to perform Tawaf on your behalf and on behalf of your father.’ It was said to me, ‘Tawaf is not performed on behalf of the executors of the will (of the Messenger of Allah).’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Perform Tawaf as much as you can; it is permissible.’
قُلْتُ لَهُ أُشْرِكُ أَبَوَيَّ فِي حَجَّتِي قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ أُشْرِكُ إِخْوَتِي فِي حَجَّتِي قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَاعِلٌ لَكَ حَجّاً وَ لَهُمْ حَجّاً وَ لَكَ أَجْرٌ لِصِلَتِكَ إِيَّاهُمْ قُلْتُ فَأَطُوفُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ وَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَ هُمْ بِالْكُوفَةِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ تَقُولُ حِينَ تَفْتَتِحُ الطَّوَافَ- اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنْ فُلَانٍ الَّذِي تَطُوفُ عَنْهُ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ’Can I perform al-Hajj and consider my father as my partner in it?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Yes, you can do so.’ I then asked, ‘Can I perform al-Hajj and consider my brothers as my partner in it?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Yes, you can do so; Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gloriou

“I performed al-Hajj with my father and I was al-Sarura (one who performs al-Hajj for the first time). I said that I like to perform al-Hajj for my mother who was dead. He said allow me to ask abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about it. ’Ilyas then spoke about it with abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when I was listening. ‘I pray to Allah
