The Case of One Who Is Paid for al-Hajj but It Is Not Enough or Is Paid and He Gives It to Someone Else

“I once instructed a man to ask abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who receives an amount to perform al-Hajj but it is not sufficient. Can he get additional amount from other persons to combine and make them as partners, or that al-Hajj is only for one of them? He quoted him (the Imam) as having said, ‘I like it to be for one of them only, but if it is not sufficient, he must not take such amount.’”

“I once asked al-Rida’ (a.s.), about a man who receives an amount to perform al-Hajj but he gives it to someone else. He (the Imam) said, ’It is not harmful.’”

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who says in his will to perform al-Hajj for him but the amount is not sufficient. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is performed from nearby before Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram).”’
