The Case of a Person Who Dies During His First al-Hajj, or One Who Has Made a Will to Perform al-Hajj in His Behalf

۞
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following
“If a man in his will says to perform al-Hajj on his behalf, abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If it is his first al-Hajj, it is performed from his entire legacy. It is like debts, but if it is other than his first al-Hajj, then it is performed from one-third of his legacy. If one dies without performing Hajjahta al-Islam, whose legacy is just enough for transportation, and leaves behind heirs, then they are more rightful to have his legacy. If they like they can use it, or if they like they can perform al-Hajj on his behalf.’”
1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم)
فِي رَجُلٍ تُوُفِّيَ وَأَوْصَى أَنْ يُحَجَّ عَنْهُ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ صَرُورَةً فَمِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمَالِ إِنَّهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الدَّيْنِ الْوَاجِبِ وَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ حَجَّ فَمِنْ ثُلُثِهِ وَمَنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ حَجَّةَ الإِسْلامِ وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ إِلاَّ قَدْرَ نَفَقَةِ الْحَمُولَةِ وَلَهُ وَرَثَةٌ فَهُمْ أَحَقُّ بِمَا تَرَكَ فَإِنْ شَاءُوا أَكَلُوا وَإِنْ شَاءُوا أَحَجُّوا عَنْهُ.
