Chapter: The Case of One Who Is Paid for al-Hajj and He Spends it on Other Things or Performs al-Hajj for Someone on Hire and Has Leftover from What Is Paid َّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ ٠َدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَ٠ْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ ٠ُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَ٠ُوسَى السَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَأْخُذُ الدَّرَاهِ٠َ لِيَحُجَّ بِهَا عَنْ رَجُلٍ هَلْ يَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يُنْفِقَ ٠ِنْهَا فِي غَيْرِ الْحَجِّ قَالَ إِذَا ضَ٠ِنَ الْحَجَّ فَالدَّرَاهِ٠ُ لَهُ يَصْنَعُ بِهَا ٠َا أَحَبَّ وَعَلَيْهِ حَجَّةٌ.

He (the Imam) said, ‘If he guarantees al-Hajj, dirhams belong to him with which he can do whatever he wants, but he owes al- Hajj.’” وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/228))
