Chapter on the Hajj of the Male and Female Slave
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ يُونُسَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقُلْتُ تَكُونُ عِنْدِي اَلْجَوَارِي وَ أَنَا بِمَكَّةَ فَآمُرُهُنَّ أَنْ يَعْقِدْنَ بِالْحَجِّ يَوْمَ اَلتَّرْوِيَةِ فَأَخْرُجُ بِهِنَّ فَيَشْهَدْنَ اَلْمَنَاسِكَ أَوْ أُخَلِّفُهُنَّ بِمَكَّةَ قَالَ فَقَالَ «إِنْ خَرَجْتَ بِهِنَّ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ وَ إِنْ خَلَّفْتَهُنَّ عِنْدَ ثِقَةٍ فَلاَ بَأْسَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَى اَلْمَمْلُوكِ حَجٌّ وَ لاَ عُمْرَةٌ حَتَّى يُعْتَقَ ».
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Al-Fadl ibn Yunus, who said: I asked Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام: "I have female servants with me in Mecca. Should I instruct them to enter into the state of Ihram for Hajj on the Day of Tarwiyah and take them out to witness the rites, or should I leave them behind in Mecca?" Imam عليه السلام said: "If you take them out with you, that is better. However, if you leave them behind with someone trustworthy, there is no harm in that. There is no obligation of Hajj or 'Umrah on a servant until they are freed."
