Al-Kāfi - The Book of Haj

Chapter: One Who Is Not Able to Perform Al-Hajj by Himself, Another Person Is Readied on His Behalf (Chapter best explained by fatwas) َّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْ٠َّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِ٠َّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَ٠ْزَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ ٠ٍ حَالَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْحَجِّ ٠ْرٌ يَعْذِرُهُ الله فِيهِ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُحِجَّ عَنْهُ ٠َالِهِ صَرُورَةً لا ٠3.

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id form al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam), Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a Muslim who is prevented from performing al-Hajj because of illness or some other good reason in the sight of Allah.

He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required that someone else who has not performed al-Hajj and does not have any assets, go to al-Hajj on his behalf on his expenses.’” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/157))
