Chapter on the Pilgrim Who Dies on the Way

رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ رِئَابٍ عَنْ ضُرَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ خَرَجَ حَاجّاً حَجَّةَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ فَمَاتَ فِي اَلطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ «إِنْ مَاتَ فِي اَلْحَرَمِ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَتْ عَنْهُ حَجَّةُ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مَاتَ دُونَ اَلْحَرَمِ فَلْيَقْضِ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ حَجَّةَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ.
Ali ibn Ri'ab narrated from Durays, from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام, regarding a man who set out to perform the Hajj of Islam but died on the way. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he died within the sacred precinct (haram), it suffices as the Hajj of Islam. But if he died outside the haram, his heir should perform the Hajj of Islam on his behalf."
