The Case of One Who Is Hired to Perform al-Hajj in ‘Ifrad Manner But He Performs in al-Tamatu’ Manner or Begins the Journey from a Place Other Than What the Condition in the Contract Requires

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Salim from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about a man who pays someone to perform al-Hajj in Ifrad manner (al-Hajj without al- £ Umrah) for him; if it is permissible to perform in al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) manner. He (the Imam) said, ‘He has opposed him in what is more virtuous.’”
