Chapter on Delegating Hajj to Someone Who Undertakes it
وَ رَوَى اَلْبَزَنْطِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَخَذَ حَجَّةً مِنْ رَجُلٍ فَقُطِعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلطَّرِيقُ فَأَعْطَاهُ رَجُلٌ حَجَّةً أُخْرَى أَ يَجُوزُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «جَائِزٌ لَهُ ذَلِكَ مَحْسُوبٌ لِلْأَوَّلِ وَ اَلْآخِرُ وَ مَا كَانَ يَسَعُهُ غَيْرُ اَلَّذِي فَعَلَ إِذَا وَجَدَ مَنْ يُعْطِيهِ اَلْحَجَّةَ.
Al-Bazanti narrated from Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, who said: I asked him about a man who received funds for Hajj from someone, but his path was blocked by bandits. Then another person provided him with funds for Hajj. Is it permissible for him to accept this? Imam عليه السلام replied: "It is permissible for him to do so. The reward will be accounted for both the first and the second provider, and he had no other option but to do what he did when he found someone willing to provide for his Hajj."
