What Suffices for Hajjata al-Islam and What Does Not Suffice? (The following Chapter is best explained by fatwa).
6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الرَّجُلُ يَمُرُّ مُجْتَازاً يُرِيدُ الْيَمَنَ أَوْ غَيْرَهَا مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ وَطَرِيقُهُ بِمَكَّةَ فَيُدْرِكُ النَّاسَ وَهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَيَخْرُجُ مَعَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَشَاهِدِ أَ يُجْزِئُهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ حَجَّةِ الإِسْلامِ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu Najran from ‘Asem ibn Humayd from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who passes through Makkah on his way to Yemen or other lands and finds other people traveling for al-Hajj, so he joins them to al-Mashahid (memorial places); if it is sufficient for Hajjahta al-Islam. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is sufficient.’”
