Chapter on Bequests for Manumission, Charity, and Hajj

وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَ أَوْصَى أَنْ يُحَجَّ عَنْهُ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ صَرُورَةً حُجَّ عَنْهُ مِنْ وَسَطِ اَلْمَالِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ صَرُورَةٍ فَمِنَ اَلثُّلُثِ".
Muawiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who died and had instructed that Hajj be performed on his behalf. Imam عليه السلام replied: "If he had never performed Hajj (was a ṣarurah), then Hajj should be performed on his behalf from the middle of his wealth. But if he was not a ṣarurah, then it should be performed from one-third of his wealth."
