What Suffices for Hajjata al-Islam and What Does Not Suffice? (The following Chapter is best explained by fatwa).
10ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ ضُرَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ فِي رَجُلٍ خَرَجَ حَاجّاً حَجَّةَ الإِسْلامِ فَمَاتَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ إِنْ مَاتَ فِي الْحَرَمِ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَتْ عَنْهُ حَجَّةُ الإِسْلامِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَاتَ دُونَ الْحَرَمِ فَلْيَقْضِ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ حَجَّةَ الإِسْلامِ.
10. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Durays who has said the following: “This is about a man who travels for Hajjahta al-Islam and dies on the way. Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, has said, ‘If he dies in al-Haram (the sacred area), it is sufficient for Hajjahta al-Islam. However, if he dies outside al-Haram (the sacred area), then his guardians should complete, Qada’ (compensatory for) Hajjahta al-Islam, on his behalf.’”
