3 hadiths1ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ يَحْيَى الأَزْرَقِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الرَّجُلُ يَحُجُّ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَطُوفَ عَنْ أَقَارِبِهِ فَقَالَ إِذَا قَضَى مَنَاسِكَ الْحَجِّ فَلْيَصْنَعْ مَا شَاءَ.
1. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Yahya al-Azraq who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, about a man who performs al-Hajj for someone else; if he can perform Tawaf for his relatives. He (the Imam) said, ‘After completing the acts of al-Hajj, he can do whatever he likes/”

2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى رَفَعَهُ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَعْطَى رَجُلاً مَالاً يَحُجُّ عَنْهُ فَحَجَّ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ هِيَ عَنْ صَاحِبِ الْمَالِ.
2. Muhammad ibn Yahya in a marfu‘ manner has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, was once asked about a man who receives a certain amount to perform al-Hajj for another person, but he performs al-Hajj for himself. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is for the owner of the asset.’”

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي رَجُلٍ أَخَذَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مَالاً وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ عَنْهُ وَمَاتَ لَمْ يُخَلِّفْ شَيْئاً قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ حَجَّ الأَجِيرُ أُخِذَتْ حَجَّتُهُ وَدُفِعَتْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الْمَالِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ حَجَّ كُتِبَ لِصَاحِبِ الْمَالِ ثَوَابُ الْحَجِّ.
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “About a man who receives a certain amount to perform al-Hajj for another person and he does not perform al-Hajj but he dies and leaves nothing behind. Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘If the man hiring himself has performed al-Hajj, it is taken from him to be given to the owner of the asset; but if he has not performed, the reward for performing al-Hajj is written for the owner of the asset.’”
