Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 3|Chapter 40
6ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ الْوَاسِطِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَسْتَقْرِضُ وَيَحُجُّ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ مَالٌ إِنْ حَدَثَ بِهِ حَدَثٌ أُدِّيَ عَنْهُ فَلا بَأْسَ.
6. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa has narrated from al-Barqiy from Ja’far ibn Bashir from Musa ibn Bakr al-Wasitiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, about a man who borrows for al-Hajj. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he leaves behind an asset that can pay off his debt in case something happens to him, then it is not harmful.’”
