Chapter: Undesirability of Traveling in the Month of Ramadan 2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠َّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَدْخُلُ شَهْرُ رَ٠ٌ لا يُرِيدُ بَرَاحاً ثُ٠َّ يَبْدُو لَهُ بَعْدَ ٠َا يَدْخُلُ شَهْرُ رَ٠َضَانَ أَنْ يُسَافِرَ فَسَكَتَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ غَيْرَ ٠َرَّةٍ فَقَالَ يُقِي٠ُ أَفْضَلُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ لا بُدَّ ٠ِنَ الْخُرُوجِ فِيهَا أَوْ يَتَخَوَّفَ عَلَى ٠2.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who when the month of Ramadan arrives is at home and does not want to travel; then it occurs to him, when it is the month of Ramadan, to travel.

He (the Imam) remained quiet and I asked several times then he (the Imam) said, ‘Staying home is better unless he has a certain need for which it is necessary for him to travel or is afraid for his assets.’” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (16/325))
