Hajj & Pilgrimage

وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ‌ إِذَا اشْتَرَيْتَ هَدْيَكَ فَاسْتَقْبِلْ‌ بِهِ الْقِبْلَةَ[1] وَ انْحَرْهُ أَوِ اذْبَحْهُ وَ قُلْ‌ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ حَنِيفاً مُسْلِماً وَ ما أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ‌ إِنَّ صَلاتِي وَ نُسُكِي وَ مَحْيايَ وَ مَماتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ بِذلِكَ أُمِرْتُ‌ وَ أَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ اللَّهُمّ

Hadith.3084 - Muawiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Imam (as) that he said: "When you purchase your hady (sacrificial animal), face it towards the Qiblah and slaughter or sacrifice it, and say: 'I have turned my face towards the One who created the heavens and the earth, inclining to the truth, as a submitter [to Allah (swt

كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِذَا سَاقَ الْبَدَنَةَ وَ مَرَّ عَلَى الْمُشَاةِ حَمَلَهُمْ عَلَى بَدَنَةٍ وَ إِنْ ضَلَّتْ رَاحِلَةُ رَجُلٍ وَ مَعَهُ بَدَنَةٌ رَكِبَهَا غَيْرَ مُضِرٍّ وَ لَا مُثْقِلٍ.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَرْكَبُهَا غَيْرَ مُجْهِدٍ وَ لَا مُتْعِبٍ‌[3].

Hadith.3086 - Ya'qub ibn Shu'ayb asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man—can he ride his hady (sacrificial animal) if he needs to? Imam (as) replied: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: 'He may ride it as long as he does not overburden or exhaust it.'"

وَ رَوَى مَنْصُورُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‌ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ع يَحْلُبُ الْبَدَنَةَ وَ يَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرَ مُضِرٍّ[4].

"Imam Ali (as) used to milk the sacrificial camel and allow others to ride it, provided it was not harmed."

إِنِ احْتَاجَ إِلَى ظَهْرِهَا رَكِبَهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَعْنُفَ عَلَيْهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَهَا

Hadith.3088 - Abu Basir narrated from Imam (as) regarding the words of Allah (swt), the Exalted: "For you, there are benefits in them until a specified term" (Surah Al-Hajj 22:33). Imam (as) said: "If one needs to use its back, he may ride it without being harsh on it. And if it has milk, he may milk it in a way that d

إِذَا اشْتَرَى الرَّجُلُ هَدْيَهُ وَ قَمَطَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَقَدْ بَلَغَ مَحِلَّهُ فَإِنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَحْلِقْ[2].

لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الرَّجُلُ يُوصِي مَنْ يَذْبَحُ عَنْهُ وَ يُلْقِي هُوَ شَعْرَهُ بِمَكَّةَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يُلْقِيَ شَعْرَهُ إِلَّا بِمِنًى‌[3].

I said to Abu Abdullah (as): "A man instructs someone to slaughter on his behalf while he discards his hair in Mecca." Imam (as) replied: "He is not permitted to discard his hair except in Mina."

لَا يَنْبَغِي إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ نَاسِياً ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَتَاهُ أُنَاسٌ- يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَلَقْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ حَلَقْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَرْمِيَ فَلَمْ يَتْرُكُوا شَيْئاً كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ أَنْ يُقَدِّمُوهُ إِلَّا أَخَّرُوهُ وَ لَا شَيْئاً كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ أَنْ يُؤَخِّرُوهُ إِلَّا قَدَّمُوهُ فَقَالَ لَا حَرَجَ‌[1].

I asked him about a man who visits the Kaaba before shaving his head. Imam (as) said: "It is not appropriate unless he has forgotten." Then Imam (as) said: "On the Day of Sacrifice, some people came to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and said, 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), I

لَا بَأْسَ قَدْ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُ.

Hadith.3092 - Muawiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) regarding a man who forgot to slaughter in Mina until he visited the Kaaba, then purchased an animal in Mecca and slaughtered it. Imam (as) said: "There is no harm; it suffices for him."

أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ جَهِلَ أَنْ يُقَصِّرَ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ أَوْ يَحْلِقَهُ حَتَّى ارْتَحَلَ مِنْ مِنًى قَالَ فَلْيَرْجِعْ إِلَى مِنًى حَتَّى يُلْقِيَ شَعْرَهُ بِهَا حَلْقاً كَانَ أَوْ تَقْصِيراً وَ عَلَى الصَّرُورَةِ الْحَلْقُ‌[2]. وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ يَحْلِقُ بِمَكَّةَ وَ يَحْمِلُ شَعْرَهُ إِلَى مِنًى‌[1].

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who, out of ignorance, failed to shorten or shave his hair before leaving Mina. Imam (as) said: "He should return to Mina and discard his hair there, whether by shaving or shortening. For someone performing Hajj for the first time, shaving is obligatory." It is also narrated: "He m

وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ يَحْلِقُ رَأْسَهُ وَ يُقَلِّمُ أَظْفَارَهُ وَ يَأْخُذُ مِنْ شَارِبِهِ وَ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ لِحْيَتِهِ‌[2].

Hadith.3094 - On the Day of Sacrifice, the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would shave his head, trim his nails, shorten his mustache, and take from the edges of his beard.

إِذَا ذَبَحَ الرَّجُلُ وَ حَلَقَ فَقَدْ أَحَلَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَحْرَمَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا النِّسَاءَ وَ الطِّيبَ فَإِذَا زَارَ الْبَيْتَ وَ طَافَ وَ سَعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ فَقَدْ أَحَلَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَحْرَمَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا النِّسَاءَ فَإِذَا طَافَ طَوَافَ النِّسَاءِ فَقَدْ أَحَلَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَحْرَمَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا الصَّيْدَ[3].

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ رَمَى اَلْجِمَارَ وَ ذَبَحَ وَ حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ أَ يَلْبَسُ قَمِيصاً وَ قَلَنْسُوَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَزُورَ اَلْبَيْتَ فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ مُتَمَتِّعاً فَلاَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مُفْرِداً لِلْحَجِّ فَنَعَمْ».

I asked him about a man who has stoned the pillars, slaughtered his sacrifice, and shaved his head—can he wear a shirt and a cap before visiting the House? Imam (as) replied: "If he is performing Tamattu' (Hajj combined with Umrah), then no. But if he is performing Ifrad (Hajj alone), then yes."

رُوِيَ عَنِ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع‌ أَنَّ الْمُتَمَتِّعَ إِذَا وَجَدَ الْهَدْيَ وَ لَمْ يَجِدِ الثَّمَنَ صَامَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ يَوْماً قَبْلَ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ إِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ‌ تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كامِلَةٌ لِجَزَاءِ الْهَدْيِ فَإِنْ فَاتَهُ صَوْمُ هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثَةِ الْأَيَّامِ تَسَحَّرَ لَيْلَةَ الْحَصْبَةِ[3] وَ هِيَ لَيْلَةُ النَّفْرِ وَ

It is narrated from the Imams (as): "If the Mutamatti' (pilgrim performing Hajj Tamattu') finds the sacrificial animal but cannot afford its price, he must fast for three days during Hajj—one day before the Day of Tarwiyah, the Day of Tarwiyah itself, and the Day of Arafah—and seven days when he returns to his family,

وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ‌[3] عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‌ مَنْ مَاتَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ هَدْيٌ لِمُتْعَتِهِ فَلْيَصُمْ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ.

"If a person dies and does not have a hady (sacrificial animal) for his Tamattu', his guardian should fast on his behalf."

فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَنْهَلَ أَهْلِ بَلَدِهِ‌[1] فَإِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ دَخَلُوا بَلَدَهُمْ فَلْيَصُمِ السَّبْعَةَ الْأَيَّامِ‌[2].

I asked him about a man who performed Tamattu' but could not afford a sacrificial animal, so he fasted three days. After completing his rites, he decided to stay for a year. Imam (as) said: "Let him estimate when the people of his hometown are likely to have returned to their homes, and when he assumes they have arrive

«أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مُقَامٌ بِمَكَّةَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَصُومَ اَلسَّبْعَةَ تَرَكَ اَلصِّيَامَ بِقَدْرِ سَيْرِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ أَوْ شَهْراً ثُمَّ صَامَ ».

Hadith.3099 - In a narration from Muawiyah ibn Ammar, from Abu Abdullah (as): "If a person resides in Mecca and wishes to fast the seven days, he should delay the fast for a period equivalent to the time it would take to travel to his family or for a month, and then begin fasting."

وَ قَدْ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ‌ مَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ ثَمَنَ‌ الْهَدْيِ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَصُومَ الثَّلَاثَةَ الْأَيَّامِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ‌[1].

يَصُومُ يَوْماً آخَرَ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ بِيَوْمٍ‌[3] قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مُتَمَتِّعٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ ثَمَنُ هَدْيٍ وَ هُوَ يَجِدُ بِمِثْلِ الَّذِي مَعَهُ هَدْياً فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَتَوَانَى وَ يُؤَخِّرُ ذَلِكَ‌[4] حَتَّى كَانَ آخِرُ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ وَ غَلَتِ الْغَنَمُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ بِالَّذِي مَعَهُ هَدْياً قَالَ يَصُومُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ‌[5].

Hadith.3101 - Yahya al-Azraq asked Abu Ibrahim (as) about a man who entered into Ihram for Tamattu' on the Day of Tarwiyah and did not have a sacrificial animal, so he fasted on the Day of Tarwiyah and the Day of Arafah. Imam (as) said: "He should fast one more day after the Days of Tashriq." He also asked him about a

وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ‌ الصَّبِيُّ يَصُومُ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدْ هَدْياً[6].

"A guardian should fast on behalf of a child if the child does not have a sacrificial animal."

يَبْعَثُ بِدَمٍ‌[1].

Hadith.3103 - It is narrated from Imran al-Halabi that Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a man who forgot to fast the three days required of the Mutamatti' if he could not find a sacrificial animal, until he returned to his family. Imam (as) said: "He should send a sacrificial animal (as compensation)."

«اَلْمَحْصُورُ غَيْرُ اَلْمَصْدُودِ» وَ قَالَ «اَلْمَحْصُورُ هُوَ اَلْمَرِيضُ وَ اَلْمَصْدُودُ هُوَ اَلَّذِي يَرُدُّهُ اَلْمُشْرِكُونَ كَمَا رَدُّوا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَصْحَابَهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ مَرَضٍ وَ اَلْمَصْدُودُ تَحِلُّ لَهُ اَلنِّسَاءُ وَ اَلْمَحْصُورُ لاَ تَحِلُّ لَهُ اَلنِّسَاءُ ».

Hadith.3104 - Muawiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) that he said: "The Mahsur (prevented) is not the same as the Masdood (barred)." Imam (as) further said: "Mahsur refers to the sick person, while Masdood refers to one who is prevented by the polytheists, as they prevented the Messenger of Allah (swt) (pea

الْمَحْصُورُ وَ الْمُضْطَرُّ يَنْحَرَانِ بَدَنَتَيْهِمَا فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يُضْطَرَّانِ فِيهِ[1]

«يَنْسُكُ وَ يَرْجِعُ» قِيلَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ هَدْياً قَالَ «يَصُومُ ».

Hadith.3106 - Muawiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) regarding the Mahsur (prevented) who did not bring a sacrificial animal. Imam (as) said: "He performs his rites and returns." It was asked: "What if he cannot find a sacrificial animal?" Imam (as) said: "He should fast."

«خَرَجَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مُعْتَمِراً وَ قَدْ سَاقَ بَدَنَةً حَتَّى اِنْتَهَى إِلَى اَلسُّقْيَا فَبُرْسِمَ فَحَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ وَ نَحَرَهَا مَكَانَهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى جَاءَ فَضَرَبَ اَلْبَابَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ « اِبْنِي وَ رَبِّ اَلْكَعْبَةِ اِفْتَحُوا لَهُ» وَ كَانُوا قَدْ حَمُّوا لَهُ اَلْمَاءَ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ اِعْتَمَرَ بَعْدُ ».

Hadith.3107 - Rifa'ah ibn Musa narrated from Abu Abdullah (as): "Imam Hussain (as) set out for Umrah and had brought along a sacrificial camel. When he reached Al-Suqya, he became ill and shaved his head and slaughtered the camel at that place. Then he proceeded until he arrived at home, knocked on the door, and Imam A

حُلَّنِي حَيْثُ حَبَسْتَنِي فَقَالَ هُوَ حِلٌّ حَيْثُ حَبَسَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ أَ وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ‌[1] وَ لَا يُسْقِطُ الِاشْتِرَاطُ عَنْهُ الْحَجَّ مِنْ قَابِلٍ‌[2].

Hadith.3108 - Hamzah ibn Humran asked Abu Abdullah (as) about the one who says, "Release me where You have prevented me." Imam (as) replied: "He is released where Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has prevented him." Then Imam (as) added: "Doesn't he say that? However, making this condition does not exempt him from

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who sends a sacrificial animal voluntarily, not as an obligation. Imam (as) said: "He should agree with his companions on a specific day, and they should mark it (as a sacrificial animal). From that moment, he must avoid what a person in Ihram avoids until the Day of Sacrifice. Whe

I said to Abu Abdullah (as): "May Allah (swt) make me your ransom! I have been asking you about Hajj for forty years, and you continue to provide me with answers." Imam (as) replied: "O Zurara, a House that has been the site of pilgrimage two thousand years before Adam (as) — do you expect its matters to be exhausted i

Hadith.3112 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "The valleys of the Haram (sanctuary) flow into the Hil (non-sanctuary area), but the valleys of the Hil do not flow into the Haram." It is also narrated from Abu Hanifah al-Nu'man ibn Thabit that he said: "If it were not for Ja'far ibn Muhammad (as), the people

Hadith.3113 - It was mentioned to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about water on the road to Mecca and its weight. Imam (as) said: "Water is not heavy unless the camel is carrying only water and nothing else."

I went to Abu Abdullah (as) while I was owed money by a man, and I feared it would be lost. I complained about this to him, and he said to me: "When you are in Mecca, perform a Tawaf (circumambulation) on behalf of Abdul Muttalib and pray two Rak'ahs for him. Perform a Tawaf on behalf of Abu Talib and pray two Rak'ahs

Hadith.3118 - Sa'd ibn Sa'd al-Ash'ari narrated from Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as). He said: I asked, "Can a person in the state of Ihram buy or sell slave girls?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes."

يَبْدَأُ بِالْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ يَطُوفُ‌[4].

Hadith.3119 - In a narration from Hariz, from Abu Abdullah (as), regarding a man who arrives in Mecca at the time of Asr prayer, Imam (as) said: "He should begin with the Asr prayer and then perform Tawaf."

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع‌ فِي امْرَأَةٍ نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَطُوفَ عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ فَقَالَ تَطُوفُ أُسْبُوعاً لِيَدَيْهَا وَ أُسْبُوعاً لِرِجْلَيْهَا[5].

Hadith.3120 - Al-Sakuni narrated with his chain of transmission that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) was asked about a woman who vowed to perform Tawaf on all fours. Imam (as) said: "She should perform one circuit (seven rounds) for her hands and one circuit for her feet."
