Al-Kafi 14681

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said regarding a man who swore an oath that he would not speak to the relatives of his’. He^asws said: ‘It is not with anything. So let him speak to the ones he had sworn against’. And he^asws said: ‘Every oath, not intending by it the Face of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic, so it is not with anything, regarding a divorce, or freeing a slave’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him^asws about a woman who made her wealth to be a gift for the House of Allah^azwj, if she lends her belongings to so and so, and so and so, so some of her family lend these without her instructions. He^asws said: ‘There is no sacrifice upon her. But rather, the sacrifice is what she made for the sake of Allah^azwj as a gift for the Kaaba. So that is what needs to be fulfilled with, when it is made for the Sake of Allah^azwj; and whatever was resembling from this, so is not with anything, nor a sacrifice not mentioning Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic in it’. And I asked him^asws about the man saying, ‘Upon me are a thousand camels’, and he is in <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span>, ‘along with a thousand Hajj’. He^asws said: ‘That is from the footsteps of Satan^la’. And about the man who is saying, and he is in <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span> with the Hajj?’ He^asws said: ‘It is not with anything’. (I said), ‘Or he is saying, ‘I hereby gift this food?’ He^asws: ‘It is not with anything. The food cannot be a sacrifice’. (I said), ‘Or is saying, ‘The camels, after having been slaughtered, it is to be gifted with for the House of Allah^azwj’. He^asws said: ‘But rather, the camel is sacrificed when these are alive, and it is not gifted when it becomes meat’.
