وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْهُ ع‌ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ عَقَدَ فِي مَسْجِدِ الشَّجَرَةِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَأُتِيَ بِخَبِيصٍ‌[4] فِيهِ زَعْفَرَانٌ فَأَكَلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُلَبِّيَ مِنْهُ.

Hadith.2568 - Wahb ibn Abd Rabbih narrated from Imam (as) regarding a man whose concubine entered the state of Ihram before her master. He asked: "Is it permissible for him to nullify her Ihram and have intercourse with her before entering Ihram himself?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes."

وَ كَتَبَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا إِلَى أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع‌ فِي رَجُلٍ دَخَلَ مَسْجِدَ الشَّجَرَةِ فَصَلَّى وَ أَحْرَمَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَبَدَا لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُلَبِّيَ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَنْقُضَ ذَلِكَ بِمُوَاقَعَةِ النِّسَاءِ فَكَتَبَ ع نَعَمْ أَوْ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ‌[7].

"There is no harm in wearing any garment while praying."

لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُسْتَظَلَّ فِي الْمَحْمِلِ وَ الْفَرْقُ بَيْنَهُمَا أَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تَطْمَثُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَتَقْضِي الصِّيَامَ وَ لَا تَقْضِي الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ.

I asked Abu Ja'far the Second (as): "What is the difference between a tent (fusṭāṭ) and the shade of a litter (maḥmil)?" Imam (as) said: "One should not seek shade in the maḥmil. The difference between them is like the case of a woman who menstruates during Month of Ramadan; she makes up the fasts but does not make up

لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا طَهُرَتْ إِلَّا الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ وَ قَدْ قَضَتِ الطَّوَافَ‌[1].

I asked him about a woman who performed tawaf around the Kaaba but began menstruating before praying the two rak‘ahs of tawaf. Imam (as) said: "When she becomes pure, she is only required to pray the two rak‘ahs, as she has already completed the tawaf."

لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَأَيْتُ فِي ثَوْبِي شَيْئاً مِنْ دَمٍ وَ أَنَا أَطُوفُ قَالَ فَاعْرِفِ الْمَوْضِعَ ثُمَّ اخْرُجْ فَاغْسِلْهُ ثُمَّ عُدْ فَابْنِ‌

أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ فِي طَوَافِ النِّسَاءِ[2] فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ- قَالَ يُصَلِّي مَعَهُمُ الْفَرِيضَةَ[3] فَإِذَا فَرَغَ بَنَى مِنْ حَيْثُ بَلَغَ‌[4].

I asked Imam Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who was performing Tawaf al-Nisa when the congregational prayer was established. Imam (as) said: "He should join them in performing the obligatory prayer, and when he finishes, he should resume his tawaf from where he left off."

لَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يَذْهَبَ فِي حَاجَتِهِ أَوْ حَاجَةِ غَيْرِهِ وَ يَقْطَعَ الطَّوَافَ وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْتَرِيحَ فِي طَوَافِهِ‌[1] وَ يَقْعُدَ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ فَإِذَا رَجَعَ بَنَى عَلَى طَوَافِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَقَلَّ مِنَ النِّصْفِ‌[2].

Similarly, if he wishes to rest during h

I asked Abu Ibrahim (as) about a man who is performing tawaf and has completed part of it, with some still remaining, but he leaves the tawaf to go to al-Hijr or another part of the mosque to perform the Witr prayer if he has not yet prayed it.

بِئْسَمَا صَنَعْتَ كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَكَ أَنْ تَبْنِيَ عَلَى مَا طُفْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْ‌ءٌ[2].

I began the obligatory tawaf and completed one round when someone hit my nose, causing it to bleed. I left, washed it, and then returned to start the tawaf over. I mentioned this to Abu Abdullah (as). Imam (as) said: "What you did was not correct. You should have continued from where you left off. However, there is no

I said to Abu Abdullah (as), "What about a man who meets his brother while performing tawaf?" Imam (as) said: "He may leave with him to fulfill his need, then return and continue his tawaf from where he left off."

لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَجُلٌ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ قَالَ فَلْيَضُمَّ إِلَيْهَا سِتّاً ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ‌[1]. - وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ[2] إِنَّ الْفَرِيضَةَ هِيَ الطَّوَافُ الثَّانِي وَ الرَّكْعَتَانِ الْأُولَيَانِ لِطَوَافِ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَ الرَّكْعَتَانِ الْأُخْرَيَانِ وَ الطَّوَافُ الْأَوَّلُ تَطَوُّعٌ‌[3].

I said to Abu Abdullah (as), "A man performed eight rounds of tawaf for the obligatory tawaf." Imam (as) said: "Let him add six more rounds to complete fourteen, then pray four rak‘ahs." In another narration: "The obligatory tawaf is the second set of seven rounds, and the first two rak‘ahs are for the obligatory tawaf

نَافِلَةً أَوْ فَرِيضَةً فَقَالَ فَرِيضَةً قَالَ يُضِيفُ إِلَيْهَا سِتَّةً فَإِذَا فَرَغَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ وَ يَطُوفُ بِهِمَا فَإِذَا فَرَغَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ أُخْرَاوَيْنِ فَكَانَ طَوَافَ نَافِلَةٍ وَ طَوَافَ فَرِيضَةٍ.

I asked him about a man who performed the obligatory tawaf without being in a state of purity (wudu). Imam (as) said: "He should perform wudu and repeat his tawaf. If it was a voluntary tawaf, he should perform wudu and pray two rak‘ahs."

«لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يَطُوفَ اَلرَّجُلُ اَلنَّافِلَةَ عَلَى غَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأَ وَ يُصَلِّيَ وَ إِنْ طَافَ مُتَعَمِّداً عَلَى غَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ وَ لْيُصَلِّ ».
