At first it shows us that performing a phlebotomy on Fridays is fine when needed. What has been stated about its being admonished against apply to when it is not really necessary to do so. The second conclusion we can draw is that a blood-letting can be performed at noon. The third conclusion is that if one is in the state of ritual consecration for the Hajj, he can perform a phlebotomy if needed, but he should not shave the hair in the place where he wants to perform the phlebotomy.”

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who is not in the state of Ihram and involves himself in sexual relation with his slave-girl who is in the state of Ihram.

If he did not command her to assume the state of Ihram, he then does not owe anything, regardless of being affluent or poor, but if he had commanded her to assume the state of Ihram and he is poor, he then owes one sheep.’”

“I wrote to Abu Muhammad (as): "I gave 150 dinars to six people so they could perform Hajj. Some of them returned without departing for Hajj, and some came to me, stating that they had spent part of the money and still had some remaining, which they intended to return to me. I have considered demanding what I gave to those who did not return to me." Imam (as) wrote back: "Do not pursue those who did not return to you, and do not take anything from those who came back with what they had. The reward is already with Allah (swt), the Exalted."
