Chapter on What is Performed on Behalf of the Deceased Regarding the Pilgrimage of Islam, Whether They Made a Will or Not

It was narrated from Harith, the seller of mats, that Abu Abdullah عليه السلام was asked about a man who had instructed in his will that a Hajj be performed on his behalf. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he was a ṣarūra (someone who had not performed the Hajj of Islam), it should be taken from the principal of his estate, as it is a debt upon him. But if he had already performed Hajj, it should be taken from one-third of his estate."
