1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad ibn Mahbub from
ibn Ri’ab from
Musadif who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘
Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of an al-Sarurah (one who performs al- Hajj for the first time) woman who performs al-Hajj on behalf of an al-Sarurah man. He (the Imam) said, ‘
It is sufficient if she is a Muslimah and faqihah (knowledgeable in matters of Shari‘ah); many women are more faqihah (knowledgeable in matters of Shari ‘ah) than men.’”
