Chapter on Delaying the Performance of Hajj

وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَنْ قَدَرَ عَلَى مَا يَحُجُّ بِهِ وَ جَعَلَ يَدْفَعُ ذَلِكَ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ عَنْهُ شُغُلٌ يَعْذِرُهُ اَللَّهُ فِيهِ حَتَّى جَاءَ اَلْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ ضَيَّعَ شَرِيعَةً مِنْ شَرَائِعِ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ.
Ali ibn Abi Hamzah narrated from Imam عليه السلام that he said: "Whoever has the means to perform Hajj but keeps postponing it without any valid excuse that Allah سبحانه وتعالى would accept, and death overtakes him, has neglected a fundamental law of Islam."
