When to Walk on Foot for al-Hajj and When to Ride Transporting Animals

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, that we want to leave for Makkah on foot. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must not go on foot. Go riding/ I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep you well, we are told that al-Hassan ibn Ali عليه السلام, would perform al-Hajj on foot.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Al-Hassan, ibn Ali عليه السلام, performed al-Hajj on foot and accompanied carriages on camel’s backs and riding camels.’”
