Chapter on Delegating Hajj to Someone Who Undertakes it
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ أَعْطَى رَجُلاً دَرَاهِمَ يَحُجُّ بِهَا عَنْهُ حَجَّةً مُفْرَدَةً أَ يَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَمَتَّعَ «بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى اَلْحَجِّ» قَالَ «نَعَمْ إِنَّمَا خَالَفَهُ إِلَى اَلْفَضْلِ وَ اَلْخَيْرِ ».
Ibn Mahbub narrated from Hisham ibn Salim, from Abu Basir, from one of the Imams عليه السلام, regarding a man who gave another person money to perform a single Hajj (Hajjah Mufradah) on his behalf. The question was asked: "Is it permissible for him to perform the Tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj) instead?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, he has only deviated to what is more virtuous and better."
