هَلْ یَجِبُ الحَجَّ عَلَی مَنْ لَیْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ لِیَحُجَّ بِهِ وَ بَذَلَ لَهُ أَحَدٌ مَالاً لِیَحُجَّ وَ هَلْ هُوَ مُسْتَطِیعٌ لِلْحَجِّ إِذَاً؟

✅ Answer: Please pay attention to the following narrations:

1 عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ یَقُولُ مَنْ عُرِضَ عَلَیْهِ الْحَجُّ وَ لَوْ عَلَی حِمَارٍ أَجْدَعَ مَقْطُوعِ الذَّنَبِ فَأَبَی فَهُوَ مُسْتَطِیعٌ لِلْحَجِّ.

📚 Al-Faqih, Vol. 2, p. 419

Abu Basir said: 'I heard Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) say: 'Whoever is offered Hajj, even if it is on an ear- and tail-less donkey, and he refuses, then such a person is capable (mustati') of Hajj!'

2 عَنِ الْحَلَبِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِی حَدِیثٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ فَإِنْ عُرِضَ عَلَیْهِ مَا یَحُجُّ بِهِ فَاسْتَحْیَا مِنْ ذَلِکَ أَ هُوَ مِمَّنْ یَسْتَطِیعُ إِلَیْهِ سَبِیلًا قَالَ نَعَمْ مَا شَأْنُهُ یَسْتَحْیِی وَ لَوْ یَحُجُّ عَلَی حِمَارٍ أَجْدَعَ أَبْتَرَ فَإِنْ کَانَ یَسْتَطِیعُ أَنْ یَمْشِیَ بَعْضاً وَ یَرْکَبَ بَعْضاً فَلْیَحُجَّ.

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 4, p. 266

In a hadith, Halabi said: 'I said to Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): 'If what is needed to perform Hajj is offered to a person, but he is too shy to accept it, is he one of those who are able to find a way to it? (and is he mustati')?' The Imam said: 'Yes! It is not for him to be shy or feel embarrassed, even if it is on an ear- and tail-less donkey! So if he is able to walk part of the way and ride part of it, he should also perform Hajj!'

3 عَنْ مُعَاوِیَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ لَمْ یَکُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ فَحَجَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ أَ یُجْزِیهِ ذَلِکَ عَنْهُ عَنْ حَجَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ أَمْ هِیَ نَاقِصَةٌ قَالَ بَلْ هِیَ حَجَّةٌ تَامَّةٌ.

📚 Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 5, p. 7

Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar said: 'I said to Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): 'A person does not have money, and one of his brothers sends him for Hajj. Is it sufficient for his Hajj al-Islam (obligatory Hajj) or is it incomplete?' The Imam said: 'Rather, it is a complete Hajj!'

✅ According to the above narrations and others, if a person does not have the financial ability and capability for Hajj but someone is willing to pay for their travel expenses, such a person is considered mustati' (capable), and it is an obligation upon them to perform their Hajj, and they should not be embarrassed or shy to accept it, and this Hajj is sufficient for Hajj al-Islam, which is a person's obligatory Hajj.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
