قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَ يَحُجُّ الرَّجُلُ عَنِ النَّاصِبِ فَقَالَ لَا فَقُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ أَبِي قَالَ فَإِنْ كَانَ أَبَاكَ فَنَعَمْ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), if al-Hajj can be performed on behalf of one hostile to ’A’immah. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it cannot be performed.’ I then asked, ‘Even if he is my father?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If he is your father it is permissible.’”

كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ‌[3] الرَّجُلُ يَحُجُّ عَنِ النَّاصِبِ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ إِثْمٌ إِذَا حَجَّ عَنِ النَّاصِبِ وَ هَلْ يَنْفَعُ ذَلِكَ النَّاصِبَ أَمْ لَا فَكَتَبَ لَا يَحُجَّ عَنِ النَّاصِبِ وَ لَا يَحُجَّ بِهِ‌[4].

“I once wrote to him (the Imam) and asked, ‘If one performs al-Hajj for one hostile to ’A’immah, is it a sin and does it benefit the person hostile to ’A’immah, ‘Alayhim al-Salam ? He (the Imam) said, ‘al- Hajj is not performed for one hostile to ’A’immah and al-Hajj is not performed with him.’”
