The Book of Haj

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي ع جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا رَمَى الْجَمْرَةَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ وَ حَلَقَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَذْبَحَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ أَتَاهُ طَوَائِفُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَبَحْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَرْمِيَ وَ حَلَقْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَذْبَحَ وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْ‌ءٌ مِمَّا يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ أَنْ يُقَدِّمُوهُ

“I once asked abu Ja’far, al-Thani (a.s.), saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, a man of our people has thrown pebbles on al-Jamar on the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the offering, 10th of Dhu al-Hajjah) and shaved before slaughtering his offering.’ He (the Imam) said, ’It was the day of

إِنْ كَانَ زَارَ الْبَيْتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ وَ هُوَ عَالِمٌ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ دَمَ شَاةٍ.

“This is about a man who visits the House before shaving. Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘If he has knowingly visited the House before shaving, it is not proper, thus he owes one sheep.’”

لَا بَأْسَ قَدْ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُ.

“This is about a man who forgets to slaughter his offering in Mina’ until he visits the House; then buys an offering in Makkah and slaughters it. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ’It is not harmful and it is sufficient for him.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمُتَمَتِّعِ إِذَا حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَزُورَ الْبَيْتَ يَطْلِيهِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ قَالَ نَعَمْ الْحِنَّاءُ وَ الثِّيَابُ وَ الطِّيبُ وَ كُلُّ شَيْ‌ءٍ إِلَّا النِّسَاءَ رَدَّدَهَا عَلَيَّ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع عَنْهَا فَقَالَ نَعَمْ الْحِنَّاءُ وَ الثِّيَابُ وَ الطِّيبُ وَ كُلُّ شَيْ‌ءٍ إِلَّا النِّسَاءَ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) after shaving, before visiting the House: if he can apply dyes. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, dyes, clothes, perfumes and everything becomes permissible except women.’ He (the Imam) repeated it twice or three times. I asked abu al-Hassan

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقُلْتُ الْمُتَمَتِّعُ يُغَطِّي رَأْسَهُ إِذَا حَلَقَ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ حَلْقُ رَأْسِهِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ تَغْطِيَتِهِ إِيَّاهُ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous); if he can cover his head after shaving. He (the Imam) said, ‘Son, shaving is greater than his covering it.’”

رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع بَعْدَ مَا ذَبَحَ حَلَقَ ثُمَّ ضَمَّدَ رَأْسَهُ بِمِسْكٍ‌[1] وَ زَارَ الْبَيْتَ وَ عَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ وَ كَانَ مُتَمَتِّعاً. - عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ‌ نَحْوَهُ.

“I saw abu al-Hassan (a.s.), after slaughtering his offering and shaving applied musk to his head and visited the House wearing a shirt and he (the Imam) was for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous).” NOTE: Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Isma‘il ibn Marrar from Yunus from abu Ayyub a similar Hadith.

وُلِدَ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع مَوْلُودٌ بِمِنًى فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ بِخَبِيصٍ فِيهِ زَعْفَرَانٌ‌[1] وَ كُنَّا قَدْ حَلَقْنَا قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَأَكَلْتُ أَنَا وَ أَبَى الْكَاهِلِيُّ وَ مُرَازِمٌ أَنْ يَأْكُلَا وَ قَالا لَمْ نَزُرِ الْبَيْتَ فَسَمِعَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع كَلَامَنَا فَقَالَ لِمُصَادِفٍ وَ كَانَ هُوَ الرَّسُولُ الَّذِي جَاءَنَا بِهِ فِي أَيِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ كَانُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ قَالَ أَكَ

“A child was born to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), in Mina’. On the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the offering, 10th of Dhu al-Hajjah) he (the Imam) sent us sweet mix with saffron in it and we had shaved. ‘Abd al-Rahman has said, ‘I ate but abu al-Kahiliy and Murazim abstained from eating. They said, “We have not visited the Ho

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع عَنِ الْمُتَمَتِّعِ إِذَا حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ مَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ فَقَالَ كُلُّ شَيْ‌ءٍ إِلَّا النِّسَاءَ.

“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about a man who is for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) and shaves his head. What thereafter becomes lawful for him? He (the Imam) said, ‘Everything becomes permissible except women.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمُتَمَتِّعِ لَا يَجِدُ الْهَدْيَ قَالَ يَصُومُ قَبْلَ التَّرْوِيَةِ بِيَوْمٍ وَ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدِمَ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ قَالَ يَصُومُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَ التَّشْرِيقِ قُلْتُ لَمْ يُقِمْ عَلَيْهِ جَمَّالُهُ قَالَ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ الْحَصْبَةِ وَ بَعْدَهُ يَوْمَيْنِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا الْحَصْبَةُ قَالَ يَوْمُ نَفْرِهِ قُلْتُ يَصُوم

“I once asked abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) about a man who is for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) but does not find an offering-animal. He (the Imam) said, ’He must fast before al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajjah) on the day of al-Tarwiyah and on the day of ‘Arafah. I then said that he has arrived on the day of Tarwiyah. He (the Im

‘One who cannot find an offering and likes to fast the three days during the first ten days, it is not an offense for him to do so.”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مُتَمَتِّعٍ لَمْ يَجِدْ هَدْياً قَالَ يَصُومُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ يَوْماً قَبْلَ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ فَاتَهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ يَتَسَحَّرُ لَيْلَةَ الْحَصْبَةِ[1] وَ يَصُومُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَ يَوْمَيْنِ بَعْدَهُ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُقِمْ عَلَيْهِ جَمَّالُهُ أَ يَصُومُهَا فِي الطَّرِيقِ قَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ صَامَهَا فِي الطَّرِيقِ وَ إِنْ شَ

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) and does not find offering-animal. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required to fast three days in al-Hajj, one day before al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah), on the day of al-Tarwiyah and on the day of ‘Arafah.’ I then asked, ‘What is

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مُتَمَتِّعٍ يَدْخُلُ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ هَدْيٌ قَالَ فَلَا يَصُومُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَ لَا يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَ يَتَسَحَّرُ لَيْلَةَ الْحَصْبَةِ فَيُصْبِحُ صَائِماً وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ النَّفْرِ وَ يَصُومُ يَوْمَيْنِ بَعْدَهُ‌[3].

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), arrives on the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah) and he does not have offering animal with him. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must not fast that day or on the day of ‘Arafah. He can eat food before dawn on the day of al-Hasabah

قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ‌ تَمَتَّعَ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِ‌ فِي عَيْبَتِهِ ثِيَابٌ لَهُ يَبِيعُ مِنْ ثِيَابِهِ وَ يَشْتَرِي هَدْيَهُ قَالَ لَا هَذَا يَتَزَيَّنُ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَصُومُ وَ لَا يَأْخُذُ شَيْئاً مِنْ ثِيَابِهِ.

“I once asked abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’ (a.s.), about a man who is for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), and has clothes in his bag; if he can sell them and buy offering animal from the sale of the clothes. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, believers dress up with clothes. He must fast and must not take anything from his clothe

يُخَلِّفُ الثَّمَنَ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَ يَأْمُرُ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهُ وَ يَذْبَحُ عَنْهُ وَ هُوَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ مَضَى ذُو الْحِجَّةِ أَخَّرَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى قَابِلٍ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ.

“This is about the case of a man for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who is able to pay but cannot find offering animal. Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘He must leave the cost of the offering animal with someone in Makkah. He must instruct him to buy an offering animal and slaughter it for him. This is sufficient. If it

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع عَنْ مُتَمَتِّعٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ ثَمَنُ هَدْيٍ وَ هُوَ يَجِدُ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ- الَّذِي مَعَهُ هَدْياً فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَتَوَانَى وَ يُؤَخِّرُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ آخِرُ النَّهَارِ غَلَتِ الْغَنَمُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ بِالَّذِي مَعَهُ هَدْياً قَالَ يَصُومُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ.

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who has enough funds for the offering animal available but he delays until the evening when prices become high and the funds that he has now are not enough to buy what he could buy earlier in the day. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required to f

سَأَلْتُهُ‌[1] عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَمَتَّعَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ هَدْياً فَصَامَ الثَّلَاثَةَ الْأَيَّامِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى نُسُكَهُ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ بِمَكَّةَ قَالَ يَنْتَظِرُ مَقْدَمَ أَهْلِ بِلَادِهِ فَإِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ دَخَلُوا فَلْيَصُمِ السَّبْعَةَ الْأَيَّامِ.

“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about a man for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who could not find an offering animal and he fasted the three days. When he completed the acts of his al- Hajj he found out that he needed to remain in Makkah. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must wait for the arrival of the people from his town an

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَمَتَّعَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مَا يُهْدِي بِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ النَّفْرِ وَجَدَ ثَمَنَ شَاةٍ أَ يَذْبَحُ أَوْ يَصُومُ قَالَ بَلْ يَصُومُ فَإِنَّ أَيَّامَ الذَّبْحِ قَدْ مَضَتْ‌[2].

‘He must fast; the days for slaughtering have passed.’”

مَنْ لَمْ يَصُمْ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ حَتَّى يُهَلَّ هِلَالُ الْمُحَرَّمِ فَعَلَيْهِ دَمُ شَاةٍ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ صَوْمٌ وَ يَذْبَحُهُ بِمِنًى.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who does not fast in Dhu al-Hajjah until it is the month of Muharram, he owes one sheep to slaughter and fasting is not obligatory on him, he must slaughter it in Mina’.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ مُتَمَتِّعٍ صَامَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ ثُمَّ أَصَابَ هَدْياً يَوْمَ خَرَجَ مِنْ مِنًى قَالَ أَجْزَأَهُ صِيَامُهُ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who fasts for three days and on the day of departure finds an offering animal. He (the Imam) said, ‘His fast is sufficient.’”

مَنْ مَاتَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ هَدْيٌ لِمُتْعَتِهِ فَلْيَصُمْ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ

“He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, ‘If one who did not have an offering animal for his al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous), dies; it becomes obligatory on his guardian to fast on his behalf.’”

أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَتَمَتَّعُ‌ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِ‌ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ هَدْيٌ فَصَامَ‌ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ ثُمَّ مَاتَ بَعْدَ مَا رَجَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصُومَ السَّبْعَةَ الْأَيَّامِ أَ عَلَى وَلِيِّهِ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ عَنْهُ قَالَ مَا أَرَى عَلَيْهِ قَضَاءً[1].

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who did not have an animal for offering. Therefore, he fasted for three days in al-Hajj : then he died after returning to his family and before fasting the seven days: if it was obligatory on his guardian to fast on his behalf. He (

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who does not have anything to buy an animal for offering. He fasts three days in al-Hajj but then it becomes possible for him to buy an animal for offering. Must he buy an animal for offering and slaughter it or leave it alone and fast the

كَمَالُهَا كَمَالُ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ[5].

“This is about the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘If he cannot find (offering) he must fast three days in al-Hajj and seven days when you return and this becomes ten complete.’ (2:196) He (the Imam) (a.s.), said that completing fasting is completing the offering obligation.’”

قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ع الْمُتَمَتِّعُ يَقْدَمُ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ هَدْيٌ أَ يَصُومُ مَا لَمْ يَجِبْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ يَصْبِرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ النَّحْرِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْ فَهُوَ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ[6].

“I once asked al-Rida’ (a.s.), about a man for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who arrives but does not have any animal for offering with him; if he can fast before the time to slaughter the offering. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must wait until the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the offering, 10th of Dhu al- Hajjah); and if he di

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about Ghusl (bath) when visiting the House from Mina’. He (the Imam) said, ‘I take Ghusl (bath) in Mina’; then visit the House.’ ”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع- عَنْ غُسْلِ الزِّيَارَةِ يَغْتَسِلُ الرَّجُلُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ يَزُورُ فِي اللَّيْلِ بِغُسْلٍ وَاحِدٍ أَ يُجْزِئُهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ يُجْزِئُهُ مَا لَمْ يُحْدِثْ مَا يُوجِبُ وُضُوءاً فَإِنْ أَحْدَثَ فَلْيُعِدْ غُسْلَهُ بِاللَّيْلِ.

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about Ghusl (bath) of Ziyarah, he does Ghusl during the night and visits (the House) with one Ghusl, is that sufficient?“ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is sufficient as long as things invalidating wudu does not take place, and if something as such takes place, one must take Ghusl again dur

يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُتَمَتِّعِ أَنْ يَزُورَ الْبَيْتَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ أَوْ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ وَ لَا يُؤَخِّرَ ذَلِكَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is very proper that one for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) visits the House on the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the offering, 10th of Dhu al- Hajjah) or during this night and must not delay. ‘“(Fatwa best explains Hadith 1-3 of this Chapter)

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You may perform Tawaf of Ziyarat on the tenth of Dhu al-Hajjah. If you cannot find time, you can perform it the next day. One who performs al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ should not delay; but one who performs al-Mufrid al-Hajj may delay it. On the tenth, when you come to the House, stand up on

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), saying , ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, if he can visit the House, perform Tawaf of al-Hajj, then Tawaf al-Nisa’, then Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He (the Imam) said, ‘Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwa

“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.

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.’”

لَا تَبِتْ لَيَالِيَ التَّشْرِيقِ إِلَّا بِمِنًى فَإِنْ بِتَّ فِي غَيْرِهَا فَعَلَيْكَ دَمٌ وَ إِنْ خَرَجْتَ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَا يَنْتَصِفْ لَكَ اللَّيْلُ إِلَّا وَ أَنْتَ بِمِنًى إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ شُغُلُكَ بِنُسُكِكَ أَوْ قَدْ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَ إِنْ خَرَجْتَ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَا يَضُرُّكَ أَنْ تُصْبِحَ بِغَيْرِهَا قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ زَارَ عِشَاءً فَلَمْ يَزَلْ فِي طَوَافِهِ وَ دُعَائِهِ و

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You must not pass the nights of tashriq (11, 12 and 13) in any place other than Mina. If you pass these nights in other places, you owe an animal for offering. If you go out in the beginning of the night, you must return before midnight, unless you are busy with an act of hajj or you

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الزِّيَارَةِ مِنْ مِنًى قَالَ إِنْ زَارَ بِالنَّهَارِ أَوْ عِشَاءً فَلَا يَنْفَجِرِ الْفَجْرُ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ بِمِنًى وَ إِنْ زَارَ بَعْدَ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَ أَسْحَرَ فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ وَ هُوَ بِمَكَّةَ[2].

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about visiting (the House) from Mina’. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he visits during the day or during al-‘Isha’ he must be in Mina’ before dawn. If he visits after midnight; and during the hours of dawn, then it is not harmful if it becomes dawn while he is in Makkah.’”

إِنْ بَاتَ بِمَكَّةَ فَعَلَيْهِ دَمٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْهَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‌ءٌ وَ لَوْ أَصْبَحَ دُونَ مِنًى. - وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَزُورُ فَيَنَامُ دُونَ مِنًى قَالَ إِذَا جَازَ عَقَبَةَ الْمَدَنِيِّينَ فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَنَامَ‌[1].

“This is about a man who visits the House and sleeps on the way. He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, ‘If he passes the night in Makkah, he owes one animal for offering, but if he is out of Makkah, then it is not harmful even if it becomes dawn before reaching Mina’.’” In another Hadith from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a m

إِذَا زَارَ الْحَاجُّ مِنْ مِنًى فَخَرَجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَجَاوَزَ بُيُوتَ مَكَّةَ فَنَامَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ مِنًى فَلَا شَيْ‌ءَ عَلَيْهِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one performing al-Hajj visits the House from Mina’, then comes out of Makkah and sleeps, and it becomes dawn before reaching Mina’, he is not obligated for anything in this matter.’”

لَا تَدْخُلُوا مَنَازِلَكُمْ بِمَكَّةَ إِذَا زُرْتُمْ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ[2].

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You must not enter your lodgings when you visit the House, meaning thereby people of Makkah.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَأْتِي مَكَّةَ أَيَّامَ مِنًى بَعْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ الْبَيْتِ فَيَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ تَطَوُّعاً فَقَالَ الْمُقَامُ بِمِنًى أَفْضَلُ وَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ.

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who comes to Makkah in the days of Mina after visiting the House, and performs Tawaf around the House optionally. He (the Imam) said, ‘Remaining in Mina’ is better and more beloved to me.”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الزِّيَارَةِ بَعْدَ زِيَارَةِ الْحَجِّ فِي أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ فَقَالَ لَا[3].

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about visiting (the House) after visiting for al-Hajj in the days of tashriq. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, do not visit.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘Speak of Allah during the well identified days.’ (2:203) He (the Imam) said, ‘Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) during the bright days should be commenced at noontime on the tenth of Dhu al-Hajjah up to the mo

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) in the days of Tashriq after Salat (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ‘Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) in Mina’ is after fifteen Salawat (prayers). In other cities it is after ten Salawat (prayers). The first Takbir is after Salat (

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Takbir in the days of Tashriq is from Salat (prayer) of al-Zuhr on the day of

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ فَاتَتْهُ رَكْعَةٌ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ أَيَّامَ التَّشْرِيقِ قَالَ يُتِمُّ صَلَاتَهُ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ التَّكْبِيرِ بَعْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ فَقَالَ كَمْ شِئْتَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْ‌ءٌ مُوَقَّتٌ يَعْنِي فِي الْكَلَامِ‌[3].

“I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about a man who misses one Rak’at Salat (prayer) with the Imam of Salat (prayer) in the days of Tashriq. He (the Imam) said, ’He completes his Salat (prayer) and then says Takhir.’ I then asked about Takhir after every Salat (prayer).

إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ إِذَا زَارُوا الْبَيْتَ وَ دَخَلُوا مَنَازِلَهُمْ أَتَمُّوا وَ إِذَا لَمْ يَدْخُلُوا مَنَازِلَهُمْ قَصَّرُوا.

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘In the case of people of Makkah when they visit the House, then enter their lodgings; they perform their Salat (prayer) complete, but if they do not enter their lodging, they perform in the form of Taqsir (reduced Salat (prayer) as on a journey after traveling a certain distance).”’

إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ إِذَا خَرَجُوا حُجَّاجاً قَصَّرُوا وَ إِذَا زَارُوا وَ رَجَعُوا إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ أَتَمُّوا.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If people of Makkah come out as Hajj (pilgrims) they perform their Salat (prayer) in Taqsir (reduced Salat (prayer) as on a journey after traveling a certain distance), but when they visit and return to their lodging they perform complete.’” NOTE: Fatwa best explains Hadith 1-2 of thi
