Chapter: The Obligation of Fasting for One Who Performs al-Hajj al-Tamattu’ but Cannot Find an Offering 5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ تَ٠ْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فِي عَيْبَتِهِ ثِيَابٌ لَهُ يَبِيعُ ٠ِنْ ثِيَابِهِ وَيَشْتَرِي هَدْيَهُ قَالَ لا هَذَا يَتَزَيَّنُ بِهِ الْ٠ُ وَلا يَأْخُذُ شَيْئاً ٠5.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’ (a.s.), about a man who is for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), and has clothes in his bag; if he can sell them and buy offering animal from the sale of the clothes. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, believers dress up with clothes.

He must fast and must not take anything from his clothes.”’ رسل - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (18/196))
