Hajj & Pilgrimage

أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يَحُجَّ قَطُّ وَ لَهُ مَالٌ فَقَالَ هُوَ مِمَّنْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‌ وَ نَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ أَعْمى‌ فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ أَعْمَى فَقَالَ أَعْمَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الْخَيْرِ.

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who had never performed Hajj despite having wealth. Imam (as) said: "He is among those about whom Allah (swt), the Exalted, says: 'And We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind.' (Surah Ta-Ha 20:124)." I said: "Glory be to Allah (swt)! Blind?" Imam (as) replied: "Allah (s

وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى‌[4] عَنْ ذَرِيحٍ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‌ مَنْ مَاتَ وَ لَمْ يَحُجَّ حَجَّةَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ لَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ حَاجَةٌ تُجْحِفُ بِهِ أَوْ مَرَضٌ لَا يُطِيقُ مِنْهُ الْحَجَ‌[5] أَوْ سُلْطَانٌ يَمْنَعُهُ مِنْهُ فَلْيَمُتْ يَهُودِيّاً أَوْ نَصْرَانِيّاً[6].

"Whoever dies without performing the Hajj of Islam, and there was nothing preventing him—such as a pressing need that depleted his resources, an illness that made him incapable of Hajj, or a tyrant preventing him from it—let him die as a Jew or a Christian."

وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ‌ مَنْ قَدَرَ عَلَى مَا يَحُجُّ بِهِ وَ جَعَلَ يَدْفَعُ ذَلِكَ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ عَنْهُ شُغُلٌ يَعْذِرُهُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ حَتَّى جَاءَ الْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ ضَيَّعَ شَرِيعَةً مِنْ شَرَائِعِ الْإِسْلَامِ.

Hadith.2936 - Ali ibn Abi Hamzah narrated from Imam (as) that he said: "Whoever has the means to perform Hajj but keeps postponing it without any valid excuse that Allah (swt) would accept, and death overtakes him, has neglected a fundamental law of Islam."

مَنْ حَجَّ مُعْتَمِراً[2] فِي شَوَّالٍ وَ مِنْ نِيَّتِهِ أَنْ يَعْتَمِرَ وَ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى بِلَادِهِ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ وَ إِنْ هُوَ أَقَامَ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَهُوَ مُتَمَتِّعٌ لِأَنَّ أَشْهُرَ الْحَجِّ شَوَّالٌ وَ ذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَ ذُو الْحِجَّةِ فَمَنِ اعْتَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ وَ أَقَامَ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَهِيَ مُتْعَةٌ وَ مَنْ رَجَعَ إِلَى بِلَادِهِ وَ لَمْ يُقِمْ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَهِيَ عُمْرَةٌ فَإِنِ اعْتَمَرَ فِي شَهْ

وَ رَوَى عُمَرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‌ مَنِ اعْتَمَرَ عُمْرَةً مُفْرَدَةً فَلَهُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ مَتَى شَاءَ إِلَّا أَنْ يُدْرِكَهُ خُرُوجُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ[2].

"Whoever performs an independent Umrah (Umrah Mufradah) may return to their family whenever they wish, unless they are still present when the people set out on the Day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhu al-Hijjah)."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‌ الْعُمْرَةُ فِي الْعَشْرِ مُتْعَةٌ[3].

Hadith.2939 - In a narration from Abdul-Rahman ibn Abi Abdullah, from Abu Abdullah (as), he said: "Umrah performed during the first ten days (of Dhu al-Hijjah) is considered Tamattu‘."

نَعَمْ إِذَا أَمْكَنَ الْمُوسَى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَحَسَنٌ‌[1].

Hadith.2940 - Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated: Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a man who performed Hajj as Ifrad (Hajj without Umrah). Can he perform Umrah after completing Hajj? Imam (as) said: "Yes, if the razor has touched his head (he has completed the rites of Hajj), then it is good."

وَ رَوَى الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ‌[2] عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‌ الْعُمْرَةُ مَفْرُوضَةٌ مِثْلُ الْحَجِّ فَإِذَا أَدَّى الْمُتْعَةَ فَقَدْ أَدَّى الْعُمْرَةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ.

"Umrah is an obligation like Hajj. When one performs Tamattu‘, they have fulfilled the obligatory Umrah."

إِنْ كَانَ اعْتَمَرَ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ فَحَسَنٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَلَا يَصْلُحُ إِلَّا الْحَجُ‌[3].

Hadith.2942 - Abdullah ibn Sinan asked Imam (as) about a servant who is out grazing animals and agrees to perform Umrah and then leave. Imam (as) said: "If he performed Umrah in Dhu al-Qa'dah, it is good. But if it is in Dhu al-Hijjah, then it is not suitable except for Hajj."

وَ اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ثَلَاثَ عُمَرٍ مُتَفَرِّقَاتٍ كُلُّهَا فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ[4]-

Hadith.2943 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) performed three separate Umrahs, all of them in Dhu al-Qa'dah: The Umrah of Hudaybiyyah: He entered the state of Ihram for it from Usfan. The Umrah of Qadha': He entered the state of Ihram for it from Al-Juhfah. The Umrah of Ji'

إِذَا دَخَلَ الْمُعْتَمِرُ مَكَّةَ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَمَتُّعٍ وَ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع وَ سَعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِأَهْلِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ[2].

وَ مَنْ سَاقَ هَدْياً وَ هُوَ مُعْتَمِرٌ نَحَرَ هَدْيَهُ عِنْدَ الْمَنْحَرِ وَ هُوَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ وَ هِيَ الْحَزْوَرَةُ[1].

Hadith.2945 - It was narrated from Imam (as) that he said: "Whoever brings a sacrificial animal during Umrah should slaughter it before shaving his head." Imam (as) further said: "And whoever brings a sacrificial animal while performing Umrah should slaughter it at the designated slaughtering place (Manhar), which is b

قَدْ أَفْسَدَ عُمْرَتَهُ وَ عَلَيْهِ بَدَنَةٌ وَ يُقِيمُ بِمَكَّةَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ الشَّهْرُ الَّذِي اعْتَمَرَ فِيهِ‌[2] ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي وَقَّتَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ لِأَهْلِهِ فَيُحْرِمُ مِنْهُ وَ يَعْتَمِرُ.

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: "

أَنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى بَعْضِ اَلْمَوَاقِيتِ فَيُحْرِمُ مِنْهُ وَ يَعْتَمِرُ.

Hadith.2947 - Ali ibn Ri'ab narrated from Burayd al-‘Ijli, from Abu Ja'far (as): "He (a person who invalidates their Umrah) must go out to one of the Miqats, enter Ihram from there, and perform a new Umrah."

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ دَخَلْنَا بِعُمْرَةٍ فَنُقَصِّرُ أَوْ نَحْلِقُ فَقَالَ «اِحْلِقْ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ تَرَحَّمَ عَلَى اَلْمُحَلِّقِينَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ عَلَى اَلْمُقَصِّرِينَ مَرَّةً.

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."

لَا بَلْ عُمْرَةٌ فِي شَهْرِ رَجَبٍ أَفْضَلُ.

Hadith.2949 - Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) that he was asked: "Which Umrah is better, an Umrah in the month of Rajab or an Umrah in the Month of Ramadan?" Imam (as) said: "No, an Umrah in the month of Rajab is better."

يُكْتَبُ لَهُ فِي الَّذِي نَوَى وَ قَالَ‌[1] يُكْتَبُ لَهُ فِي أَفْضَلِهَا.

Hadith.2950 - It was narrated from Abdul-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj, from Abu Abdullah (as), regarding a man who enters Ihram in one month and exits Ihram in another month. Imam (as) said: "He will be rewarded according to his intention." And Imam (as) also said: "He will be rewarded for the better of the two months."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‌ إِذَا أَحْرَمْتَ وَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ رَجَبٍ يَوْمٌ وَ لَيْلَةٌ فَعُمْرَتُكَ رَجَبِيَّةٌ.

Hadith.2951 - In a narration from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdullah (as), he said: "If you enter Ihram with one day and night remaining in the month of Rajab, your Umrah will be considered a Rajabi Umrah."

مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ لِيَعْتَمِرَ أَحْرَمَ مِنَ الْجِعْرَانَةِ وَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَ مَا أَشْبَهَهُمَا وَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ يُرِيدُ الْعُمْرَةَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مُعْتَمِراً لَمْ يَقْطَعِ التَّلْبِيَةَ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ[2].

وَ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ التَّلْبِيَةَ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ‌[1].

Hadith.2953 - It was narrated: "The Talbiyah should be discontinued when one sees the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram)."

Hadith.2954 - It was narrated: "The Talbiyah should be discontinued when one enters the boundary of the Sacred Precinct (Haram)."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ الْفُضَيْلِ‌[3] قَالَ‌ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قُلْتُ دَخَلْتُ بِعُمْرَةٍ فَأَيْنَ أَقْطَعُ التَّلْبِيَةَ فَقَالَ بِحِيَالِ الْعَقَبَةِ عَقَبَةِ الْمَدَنِيِّينَ قُلْتُ أَيْنَ عَقَبَةُ الْمَدَنِيِّينَ قَالَ بِحِيَالِ الْقَصَّارِينَ‌[4].

Hadith.2955 - In a narration from Al-Fudhayl, he said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as): "I entered Mecca for Umrah; where should I stop the Talbiyah?" Imam (as) said: "At the height of the Aqabah of the Madinites." I asked: "Where is the Aqabah of the Madinites?" Imam (as) replied: "At the location of the Qassarun (the dyers

أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَعْتَمِرُ عُمْرَةً مُفْرَدَةً فَقَالَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ ذَا طُوًى فَاقْطَعِ التَّلْبِيَةَ[6].

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man performing an independent Umrah Mufradah. Imam (as) said: "When you see Dhu Tuwa, stop the Talbiyah."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُرَازِمٍ‌[7] عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‌ يَقْطَعُ صَاحِبُ الْعُمْرَةِ

Hadith.2957 - In a narration from Murazim, from Abu Abdullah (as), he said: "The one performing Umrah Mufradah should stop the Talbiyah when the camels place their hooves within the Haram."

وَ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ التَّلْبِيَةَ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَى بُيُوتِ مَكَّةَ[2].

Hadith.2958 - It was narrated: "The Talbiyah should be discontinued when one sees the houses of Mecca."

شَوَّالٌ وَ ذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَ ذُو الْحِجَّةِ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُحْرِمَ بِالْحَجِّ فِيمَا سِوَاهُنَّ.

Hadith.2959 - Zurara narrated from Abu Ja'far (as) regarding the words of Allah (swt), the Exalted: "Hajj is [during] well-known months" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:197). Imam (as) said: "Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa'dah, and Dhu al-Hijjah. No one is permitted to enter Ihram for Hajj outside of these months."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى‌ وَ شَهْرٌ مُفْرَدٌ لِعُمْرَةٍ رَجَبٌ‌[2].

Hadith.2960 - In another narration: "And a month designated specifically for Umrah is Rajab."

وَ قَالَ ع‌ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ بُقْعَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَ لَا أَكْرَمَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهَا وَ لَهَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- الْأَشْهُرَ الْحُرُمَ الْأَرْبَعَةَ فِي كِتَابِهِ‌ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ‌ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْهَا مُتَوَالِيَةٌ لِلْحَجِّ وَ شَهْرٌ مُفْرَدٌ لِلْعُمْرَةِ رَجَبٌ‌[3].

Hadith.2961 - Imam (as) said: "Allah (swt), the Exalted, has not created on the earth a spot more beloved to Him than the Ka'bah, nor more honored by Him. For its sake, Allah (swt), the Exalted, sanctified the four sacred months in His Book 'on the day He created the heavens and the earth' (Surah At-Tawbah 9:36). Three

Hadith.2963 - Abu Ja'far al-Ahwal narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) regarding a man who enters Ihram for Hajj outside of the months of Hajj. Imam (as) said: "He should make it an Umrah."

فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَ يَكُونُ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لِكُلِّ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ عُمْرَةٌ[6].

"There is an Umrah for every month." I asked him: "Can it be less than that?" Imam (as) said: "There is an Umrah for every ten days."

حَسَنٌ‌[2].

I asked him about performing Umrah after Hajj in Dhu al-Hijjah. Imam (as) said: "It is good."

نَعَمْ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ إِحْرَامِهِ بَعْدَ مَا يُحْرِمُ اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَصَابَنِي فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا مِنْ نَصَبٍ أَوْ شِدَّةٍ أَوْ بَلَاءٍ أَوْ شَعَثٍ‌[3] فَأْجُرْ فُلَاناً فِيهِ وَ أْجُرْنِي فِي قَضَائِي عَنْهُ‌[4].

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

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ عَنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ إِخْوَانِكَ فَائْتِ الْحَجَرَ الْأَسْوَدَ وَ قُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنْ فُلَانٍ‌[1].

Hadith.2969 - It was narrated from al-Bazanti that a man asked Abu al-Hasan al-Awwal (as) about a person performing Hajj on behalf of another. Should he mention that person's name explicitly? Imam (as) replied: "Allah (swt), the Exalted, is not unaware of anything."

إِنْ شَاءَ فَعَلَ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ حَجَّ عَنْهُ وَ لَكِنْ يَذْكُرُهُ عِنْدَ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ إِذَا هُوَ ذَبَحَهَا[4].

I said to Abu al-Hasan (as): "Can a person leave for Mina a day or two before the Day of Tarwiyah to avoid the crowd and congestion?" Imam (as) said: "There is no harm in it."

وَ قَالَ‌[4] فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ لَا يَتَعَجَّلُ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ‌[5].

كَانَ أَبِي ع يَقِفُ بِالْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِ حَيْثُ يَبِيتُ[3]. وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلصَّرُورَةِ أَنْ يَطَأَ الْمَشْعَرَ بِرِجْلِهِ أَوْ يَطَأَهُ بِبَعِيرِهِ[4] وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلصَّرُورَةِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْبَيْتَ[5]
