A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from abu Bakr al- Hadramiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘I once went out (for al-Hajj) with my family walking and did not assume the state of Ihram until al-Juhfah. I had complaints (due to difficulties).

People of al-Madinah kept questioning me saying, ‘We met him with his (regular) clothes on him.’ They know that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has given permission to those who suffer from an illness or are weak to assume the state of Ihram at al-Juhfah.’” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/243))
