Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from Musa ibn Bakr who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about one’s borrowing for expenses of al-Hajj, if behind him there is an asset that can pay off the loan, in case something happens to him. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (7/168))
