Chapter on Delegating Hajj to Someone Who Undertakes it
وَ قَالَ وَهْبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ لِلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَ يَحُجُّ اَلرَّجُلُ عَنِ اَلنَّاصِبِ فَقَالَ «لاَ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ أَبِي فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ أَبَاكَ فَحُجَّ عَنْهُ.
Wahb ibn Abd Rabbih said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام: "Can a man perform Hajj on behalf of a Nasibi (one who harbors enmity toward the Ahlulbayt)?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "No." I said: "What if it was my father?" Imam عليه السلام said: "If it was your father, then perform Hajj on his behalf."
