Chapter on Delegating Hajj to Someone Who Undertakes it
وَ قِيلَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: اَلرَّجُلُ يَأْخُذُ اَلْحَجَّةَ مِنَ اَلرَّجُلِ فَيَمُوتُ فَلاَ يَتْرُكُ شَيْئاً فَقَالَ «أَجْزَأَتْ عَنِ اَلْمَيِّتِ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ عِنْدَ اَللَّهِ حَجَّةٌ أُثْبِتَتْ لِصَاحِبِهِ ».
It was said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "A man takes funds for Hajj from someone, but he dies and leaves nothing behind." Imam عليه السلام said: "It suffices for the deceased, and if he had a Hajj recorded with Allah سبحانه وتعالى, it will be credited to the one who provided the funds."
