[33] A person’s own Hajj is also accomplished when he performs Hajj on behalf of someone else. If a person was poor and someone else has performed his obligatory Hajj, he should set out for obligatory Hajj upon becoming wealthy. [34] وقال الصادق عليه السلام: ” من حج عن إنسان اشتركا حتى إذا قضى طواف الفريضة انقطعت الشركة، فما كان بعد ذلك من عمل كان لذلك الحاج “.

The deeds of a Hajji who is performing Hajj on behalf of someone else, will be equally shared until the end of obligatory Tawaaf and those deeds performed afterwards will only belong to the performer. [35] If a person is given resources to perform ‘Hajj-e- Mufrad ’ it is permissible for him to carry out ‘Hajj-e- Tumatto ’ instead, although it would be better to do what he has been asked for.

[36] وروى البزنطي عن أبي الحسن عليه السلام قال: ” سألته عن رجل أخذ حجة من رجل فقطع عليه الطريق فأعطاه رجل حجة اخرى أيجوز له ذلك ؟ فقال: جائز له ذلك محسوب للاول والآخر ، وما كان يسعه غير الذي فعل إذا وجد من يعطيه الحجة “. If a person loses funds given to him for Hajj-e- Badal and if a third person gives him funds again for Hajj expenses, a Hajj performed subsequently will be sufficient for the both of the contributors.

[37] وسأل سعيد بن عبد الله الاعرج أبا عبد الله عليه السلام ” عن الصرورة أيحج عن الميت؟ فقال: نعم إذا لم يجد الصرورة ما يحج به، وإن كان له مال فليس له ذلك حتى يحج من ماله وهو يجزي عن الميت كان له مال أو لم يكن له مال “ A well-off person who has not completed his own obligatory Hajj cannot perform Hajj on behalf of a deceased person until he carries out a Hajj from his own wealth. However, a person with limited resources may do so on behalf a dead person.

[38] Hajj-e- Badal cannot be performed on behalf of a ‘Naasbi’ [39] unless he happens to be his/her real father. [40] وروى علي بن أبي حمزة، عن أبي بصير عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: ” لو أن رجلا معسرا أحجه رجل كانت له حجة، فان أيسر بعد ذلك كان عليه الحج، وكذلك الناصب إذا عرف فعليه الحج وإن قد حج “ If a ‘Naasbi’ [41] is enlightened and corrects his beliefs, he should go for an obligatory Hajj even if he has already performed one (in Naasbi faith).

[42] If a person who has been given funds for ‘Hajj-e- Badal’ passes away prior to performing Hajj and does not leave behind any amount (from what he was given) then the Hajj of the person is accepted who gave him monies. [43] A person who would carry out Hajj from his own resources, on behalf of someone else, gets the reward equivalent to 10 Hajj.
