The Case of al-Mahsur (Prevented) and al-Masdud (Confined)(Those Prevented from Performing al-Hajj Due to Illness and So On or by Authorities)

7. Sahl has narrated from ibn abu Nasr from Rifa’ah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who decides to perform al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous) but he becomes al-Mahsur (confined); if this is sufficient for him not to perform al-Hajj in future. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required to perform al-Hajj in future and so also is (deciding just for) al-Hajj, if he becomes al-Mahsur (confined).’ I then asked about a man who drives the offering and then he become al-Mahsur (confined).’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required to send his offering.’ I then asked, ‘Can he perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) in future?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he must enter from the point he had left.”’
