Al-Kāfi - The Book of Haj

Chapter: The Case of a Person Who Dies During His First al-Hajj, or One Who Has Made a Will to Perform al-Hajj in His Behalf 1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠ُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَ٠َّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) فِي رَجُلٍ تُوُفِّيَ وَأَوْصَى أَنْ يُحَجَّ عَنْهُ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ صَرُورَةً فَ٠َنْزِلَةِ الدَّيْنِ الْوَاجِبِ وَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ حَجَّ فَ٠ْ يَحُجَّ حَجَّةَ الإِسْلا٠ْ يَتْرُكْ إِلاَّ قَدْرَ نَفَقَةِ الْحَ٠ُولَةِ وَلَهُ وَرَثَةٌ فَهُ٠َا تَرَكَ فَإِنْ شَاءُوا أَكَلُوا وَإِنْ شَاءُوا أَحَجُّوا عَنْهُ.

If one dies without performing Hajjahta al-Islam, whose legacy is just enough for transportation, and leaves behind heirs, then they are more rightful to have his legacy. If they like they can use it, or if they like they can perform al-Hajj on his behalf.’” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/212))
