سَأَلَنِي رَجُلٌ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ تُوُفِّيَتْ وَ لَمْ تَحُجَّ فَأَوْصَتْ أَنْ يُنْظَرَ قَدْرُ مَا يُحَجُّ بِهِ فَسُئِلَ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ أَمْثَلَ أَنْ يُوضَعَ فِي فُقَرَاءِ وُلْدِ فَاطِمَةَ وُضِعَ فِيهِمْ وَ إِنْ كَانَ الْحَجُّ أَمْثَلَ حُجَّ عَنْهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنْ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهَا حَجَّةٌ مَفْرُوضَةٌ فَأَنْ يُنْفَقَ مَا أَوْصَتْ بِهِ فِي الْحَجِّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يُقْسَمَ فِي غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hamaad Bin Usman, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A man asked me<sup>asws</sup> about a woman who died and had not performed Hajj. So she bequeathed, and he looked at an amount with which Hajj could be performed with. So he asked about it, if it was more favourable that he places it among the poor of the Children of Syeda Fatima<sup>asws</sup>, so he would place it among them, and if it was that the Hajj was more favourable, he would perform Hajj with it. So I<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘If the Obligatory Hajj was upon her, so spending what she has bequeathed with regarding the Hajj is more beloved to me than distribution in other than that’.
