Sahl has narrated from ibn abu Nasr from Rifa’ah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who decides to perform al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous) but he becomes al-Mahsur (confined); if this is sufficient for him not to perform al-Hajj in future.

He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required to perform al-Hajj in future and so also is (deciding just for) al-Hajj, if he becomes al-Mahsur (confined).’ I then asked about a man who drives the offering and then he become al-Mahsur (confined).’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required to send his offering.’ I then asked, ‘Can he perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) in future?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he must enter from the point he had left.”’ شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/340))
