قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ لْيَطَّوَّفُوا بِالْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ[2] قَالَ طَوَافُ الْفَرِيضَةِ طَوَافُ النِّسَاءِ.
“Abu al-Hassan (AS) said regarding the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘They must perform Tawaf around the free House. ’(22:29), he said that the obligatory Tawaf is Tawaf of an-Nisa'.”
فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ لْيُوفُوا نُذُورَهُمْ وَ لْيَطَّوَّفُوا بِالْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ قَالَ طَوَافُ النِّسَاءِ.
Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is Tawaf of al-Nisa’.’”
لَوْ لَا مَا مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ مِنْ طَوَافِ النِّسَاءِ لَرَجَعَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ لَيْسَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَهْلُهُ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, did not grant a favor to people with Tawaf al-Nisa’ a man would return to his family and his wife becomes unlawful for him.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع عَنِ الْخِصْيَانِ وَ الْمَرْأَةِ الْكَبِيرَةِ أَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَوَافُ النِّسَاءِ قَالَ نَعَمْ عَلَيْهِمُ الطَّوَافُ كُلِّهِمْ.
4. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the castrated people and old women if Tawaf al- Nisa’ is obligatory upon them. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is obligatory on all of them.’”
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَجُلٌ نَسِيَ طَوَافَ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ أَهْلَهُ قَالَ لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ النِّسَاءُ حَتَّى يَزُورَ الْبَيْتَ وَ قَالَ يَأْمُرُ أَنْ يُقْضَى عَنْهُ إِنْ لَمْ يَحُجَّ فَإِنْ تُوُفِّيَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُطَافَ عَنْهُ فَلْيَقْضِ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who forgets to perform Tawaf al-Nisa’ until he goes in unto his wife. He (the Imam) said, ‘Women are not lawful until he visits the House.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He must instruct someone to perform its Qada’ (compensatory tawaf) on his behalf. If he did not perform al-Haj
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمُتَمَتِّعَةِ تَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ بِالصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ لِلْحَجِّ ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُ إِلَى مِنًى قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَ تَزُورُ الْبَيْتَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَلْتَطُفْ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a woman for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who performs Tawaf around the House, performs Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah for al-Hajj; then returns to Mina’ before performing Tawaf around the House. He (the Imam) said, ‘Is it not a fact that she must visit the House?’ I replied
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ طَوَافَ الْحَجِّ وَ طَوَافَ النِّسَاءِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ فَقَالَ لَا يَضُرُّهُ يَطُوفُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ وَ قَدْ فَرَغَ مِنْ حَجِّهِ[1].
“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about a man who performs Tawaf of al-Hajj and Tawaf of al-Nisa’ before Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful. He must perform Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah and his Hajj is complete.’”
