A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn abu Hamzah forms who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about commencing a journey when the month of Ramadan has just arrived. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, except that which I tell you.

Traveling to Makkah, travelling in an armed expedition for the cause of Allah, for protection of an asset that is feared for its destruction, and to say farewell to and escort a brother and it applies not only to your brother from your father and mother, are permissible.”’ ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (16/325))
