Performing al-Hajj on Behalf of One Who Does Not Follow One’s School of Law

2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ يَحُجُّ عَنِ النَّاصِبِ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ إِثْمٌ إِذَا حَجَّ عَنِ النَّاصِبِ وَهَلْ يَنْفَعُ ذَلِكَ النَّاصِبَ أَمْ لا فَكَتَبَ لا يَحُجَّ عَنِ النَّاصِبِ وَلا يَحُجَّ بِهِ.
2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Mahziyar from who has said the following: “I once wrote to him (the Imam) and asked, ‘If one performs al-Hajj for one hostile to ’A’immah, is it a sin and does it benefit the person hostile to ’A’immah, ‘Alayhim al-Salam ? He (the Imam) said, ‘al- Hajj is not performed for one hostile to ’A’immah and al-Hajj is not performed with him.’”
