Hajj & Pilgrimage

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ مُفْرِدِ الْحَجِّ يُقَدِّمُ طَوَافَهُ أَوْ يُؤَخِّرُهُ قَالَ يُقَدِّمُهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ لَكِنَّ شَيْخِي لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ كَانَ إِذَا قَدِمَ أَقَامَ بِفَخٍّ حَتَّى إِذَا رَجَعَ النَّاسُ إِلَى مِنًى رَاحَ مَعَهُمْ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ شَيْخُكَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع فَسَأَلْتُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ فَإِذَا هُوَ أَخُو عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع لِأُمِّهِ‌[2].

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about a man who is for Mufrid al-Hajj if he can perform his Tawaf before or after. He (the Imam) said, ‘He can perform it before.’ A man next to him said,

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ شَيْخاً كَبِيراً أَوْ مَرِيضاً يَخَافُ ضِغَاطَ النَّاسِ وَ زِحَامَهُمْ‌[1] يُحْرِمُ بِالْحَجِّ وَ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى مِنًى قَبْلَ يَوْمِ التَّرْوِيَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ يَخْرُجُ الرَّجُلُ الصَّحِيحُ يَلْتَمِسُ مَكَاناً وَ يَتَرَوَّحُ بِذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ يُعَجِّلُ بِيَوْمٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ بِيَوْمَيْنِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ ثَلَاثَةٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذ

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who is an old man or suffering from an illness who is afraid of congestion due to large number of people, if he can assume the state of Ihram for al-Hajj and leave for Mina on the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajjah). He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’ I then

الْحَاجُّ يَقْطَعُ التَّلْبِيَةَ- يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ زَوَالَ الشَّمْسِ.

“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘People performing al-Hajj on the day of ‘Arafah, must stop saying Talbiyah at Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime).”’

إِذَا وَقَفْتَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَادْنُ عَنِ الْهِضَابِ وَ الْهِضَابُ هِيَ الْجِبَالُ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْأَرَاكِ لَا حَجَّ لَهُمْ يَعْنِي الَّذِينَ يَقِفُونَ عِنْدَ الْأَرَاكِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when you pause and stay in ‘Arafat, stay close to the highland, the hills. The Holy prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘People of Arak (a certain area in ‘Arafat) do not have a valid Hajj, that is, those

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ فِي الْمَوْقِفِ ارْتَفِعُوا عَنْ بَطْنِ عُرَنَةَ وَ قَالَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَرَاكِ لَا حَجَّ لَهُمْ.

“The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, about al-Mawqaf (the station) has said, ‘You must come out of Batn ‘Urnah.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘Hajj of the people of al-Arak is not valid.’” NOTE: (Ahadith 1-3 of this Chapter are best

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from ibn abu ‘Umayr and Safwan ibn Yahya from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that you should stay toward the left side of the hill; the Messenger of Allah, O Al

“Once I saw ‘Abd Allah ibn Jundab in ‘Arafat but I had not seen any stay (spending the ninth day of Dhu al-Hajj) in ‘Arafat better than that. He continued stretching his hands to the sky and his tears flowed on his both cheeks all the way to the ground. When people left I said to him, ‘O abu Muhammad, I have never seen

‘Isa ibn ’A‘yan in al-Hajj during his stay in ‘Arafat prayed for his brothers (in belief) until people left ‘Arafat for al-Muzdalifah. I (the narrator) asked him, ‘You spend your money, make yourself tired and when you reach the place where wishes are presented before Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, you th

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the pagans would depart ‘Arafat before sunset. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensatio

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that you must not perform al-Maghrib Salat (prayer) until you arrive at al-Jam‘ so that you can perform both al-Maghrib and al-‘Isha’ al-’Akhirah with one Adhan and two ’Iqamah. You must disembark in valley on the right side of the road near al-Mash‘ar. One who performs al-Hajj for the

يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلصَّرُورَةِ أَنْ يَطَأَ الْمَشْعَرَ الْحَرَامَ وَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْبَيْتَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is preferable for al-Sarura (one who performs al-Hajj for the first time) to walk on al-Mash‘ar al-Haram (name of a place) and enter the House. ’’’(Fatwa best explains Hadith 2-3 of this Chapter.)

مَرَّ رَجُلٌ بِوَادِي مُحَسِّرٍ فَأَمَرَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع بَعْدَ الِانْصِرَافِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فَيَسْعَى‌[4].

“A man passed by Wadiy Muhassar and abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), after his arriving in Makkah commanded him to go back to perform Sa‘y (running slowly).”’ (Fatwa best explains Hadith 1-2 of this Chapter)

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ صَاحِبَيَّ هَذَيْنِ جَهِلَا أَنْ يَقِفَا بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ فَقَالَ يَرْجِعَانِ مَكَانَهُمَا فَيَقِفَانِ بِالْمَشْعَرِ سَاعَةً قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُخْبِرْهُمَا أَحَدٌ حَتَّى كَانَ الْيَوْمُ وَ قَدْ نَفَرَ النَّاسُ قَالَ فَنَكَسَ رَأْسَهُ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ لَيْسَا قَدْ صَلَّيَا الْغَدَاةَ بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ قُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَا قَدْ قَنَتَا فِي صَ

“I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, these two of my friends due to ignorance have not stayed in al-Muzdalifah. He (the Imam) said, ‘They must go back to stay in al-Mash‘ar for an hour . 5 I then said that no one told them about it until today and people hav

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‌ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص عَجَّلَ النِّسَاءَ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ إِلَى مِنًى وَ أَمَرَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُنَّ عَلَيْهَا هَدْيٌ أَنْ تَرْمِيَ وَ لَا تَبْرَحَ حَتَّى تَذْبَحَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهَا مِنْهُنَّ هَدْيٌ أَنْ تَمْضِيَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ حَتَّى تَزُورَ[1].

‘He (the Messenger of Allah) sent the women during the night from al-Muzdalifah to Mina’ and instructed those of them who had animal offering, to throw pebbles and slaughter their offering and those who did not have any offering, to proceed to Makkah for Ziyarat (Tawaf around the House).”’

أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ أَوْ رَجُلٍ خَائِفٍ أَفَاضَ مِنَ الْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِ لَيْلًا فَلَا بَأْسَ فَلْيَرْمِ الْجَمْرَةَ ثُمَّ لْيَمْضِ وَ لْيَأْمُرْ مَنْ يَذْبَحُ عَنْهُ وَ تُقَصِّرُ الْمَرْأَةُ وَ يَحْلِقُ الرَّجُلُ ثُمَّ لْيَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ بِالصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ لْيَرْجِعْ إِلَى مِنًى فَإِنْ أَتَى مِنًى وَ لَمْ يُذْبَحْ عَنْهُ فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَذْبَحَ هُوَ وَ لْيَحْمِلِ الشَّعْرَ إِذَا حَلَقَ بِمَكَّ

‘Any man or woman who is afraid and leaves al-Mash‘ar al-Haram, during the night, it is not harmful. They can throw pebbles on Jamarat then move on to offer animal sacrifice, do Taqsir (cutting some hair or finger nails and so on) if a female, and shave if a man, perform Tawaf around the House and Sa‘y between al-Safa’

رَخَّصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِلنِّسَاءِ وَ الصِّبْيَانِ أَنْ يُفِيضُوا بِلَيْلٍ وَ يَرْمُوا الْجِمَارَ بِلَيْلٍ وَ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا الْغَدَاةَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ فَإِنْ خِفْنَ الْحَيْضَ مَضَيْنَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَ وَكَّلْنَ مَنْ يُضَحِّي عَنْهُنَّ.

Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, permitted women and children to leave during the night to throw pebbles on Jamarat during the night and perform the morning Salat (prayer) in their lodgings. If wom

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ‌ لَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تُقَدَّمَ النِّسَاءُ إِذَا زَالَ اللَّيْلُ فَيَقِفْنَ عِنْدَ الْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ يُنْطَلَقُ بِهِنَّ إِلَى مِنًى فَيَرْمِينَ الْجَمْرَةَ ثُمَّ يَصْبِرْنَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ يُقَصِّرْنَ وَ يَنْطَلِقْنَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَطُفْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُنَّ يُرِدْنَ أَنْ يُذْبَحَ عَنْهُنَّ فَإِنَّهُنَّ يُوَكِّلْنَ مَنْ يَذْبَحُ عَنْهُنَّ.

“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘It is not harmful if women proceed to al- Mash‘ar al-Haram, when a good part of the night is gone. They can stay there for an hour, then move to Mina’, throw pebbles on Jamarat, wait for an hour; then do Taqsir (cutting some hair or finger nails and so on) and move to Makkah.

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ’I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, there are women with us: if we can leave with them during the night. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, do you want to do just as the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of thei

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from and Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Dawud al-Riqqiy who has said the following: “Once I was with abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, in Mina 5 when a man came and asked about a people who arrived on the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the of

مَنْ أَدْرَكَ جَمْعاً فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْحَجَّ وَ قَالَ أَيُّمَا قَارِنٍ أَوْ مُفْرِدٍ أَوْ مُتَمَتِّعٍ قَدِمَ وَ قَدْ فَاتَهُ الْحَجُّ فَلْيَحِلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ وَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَجُّ مِنْ قَابِلٍ قَالَ وَ قَالَ فِي رَجُلٍ أَدْرَكَ الْإِمَامَ وَ هُوَ بِجَمْعٍ فَقَالَ إِنْ ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِي عَرَفَاتٍ فَيَقِفُ بِهَا قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ يُدْرِكُ جَمْعاً قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فَلْيَأْتِهَا وَ إِنْ ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِه

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Whoever attends Jam‘ has attended al-Hajj. 5 He (the Imam) has said, ‘Anyone performing al-Hajj as Qa’rin, Mufrid or as al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who comes and misses al-Hajj, must come out of the state of Ihram of al-‘Umrah. He owes al-Hajj in future. 5 He (the Imam), about

مَنْ أَدْرَكَ الْمَشْعَرَ الْحَرَامَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ مِنْ قَبْلِ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْحَجَّ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who attends al-Mash‘ar al-Haram on the day of al- Nahr (slaughtering the offering) before Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime) he has attended al-Hajj. ‘“

مَنْ أَدْرَكَ الْمَشْعَرَ الْحَرَامَ وَ عَلَيْهِ خَمْسَةٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْحَجَّ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that one who attends al-Mash‘ar al-Haram when there still are five people and it is before Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime) he has attended al-Hajj. ‘“

مَنْ أَدْرَكَ الْمَشْعَرَ الْحَرَامَ وَ عَلَيْهِ خَمْسَةٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْحَجَّ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who attends al-Mash‘ar al-Haram (the sacred area) when five people are still there, he is considered, as having attended al-Hajj. ‘“

قَالَ: تَدْرِي لِمَ جُعِلَ ثَلَاثٌ هُنَا قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا[2] قَالَ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ شَيْئاً مِنْهَا فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْحَجَّ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), asked, ‘Do you know why there are three? I replied, ‘No, I do not know. 5 He (the Imam) said, ‘It is because if one attends one of them he has attended al-Hajj.’” (Fatwa best explains this Hadith)

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that you can take the pebbles for al-Jamar and go to al- Jamarah al-Quswa’ which is near al-‘ Aqabah. Throw the pebbles on it from its front side and not

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from Zurarah from Humran who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about throwing pebbles on al-Jamar. He (the Imam) said, ‘Pebbles were thrown on all of them on the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who forgets throwing pebbles on al- Jamar until he is in Makkah. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must go back to throw pebbles with an interval of an hour between two throwing/ I then asked about if he misses it and leaves. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is not obligated for anything

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who is ignorant of throwing pebbles until she leaves Makkah. He (the Imam) said, ‘She must return to throw pebbles as she was required to throw and the same rule applies to man.’”

فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- فَمَنْ تَمَتَّعَ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ‌[1] قَالَ شَاةٌ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘One who performs al-Hajj of Tamattu’ should offer a sacrifice which he can offer.’ (2:195) He (the Imam) said, ‘It is one sheep.’
