قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) رَجُلٌ يُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ مِنْ زَكَاةِ مَالِهِ يَحُجُّ بِهَا قَالَ مَالُ الزَّكَاةِ يُحَجُّ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ أَعْطَى رَجُلًا مُسْلِماً فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ مُحْتَاجاً فَلْيُعْطِهِ لِحَاجَتِهِ وَ فَقْرِهِ وَ لَا يَقُولُ لَهُ حُجَّ بِهَا يَصْنَعُ بِهَا بَعْدُ مَا يَشَاءُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Ismail Al Shaeery, from Al Hakam Bin Uteyba who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man gives to the man from the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> of his wealth what he can perform Hajj with’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Hajj can be performed with it (the wealth of <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>)’. So I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘He is a Muslim man giving to a Muslim’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he was needy, so let him give to him for his need, and his poverty, and he should not be saying to him, ‘Perform Hajj with it’. He can do whatever he so desires to with, afterwards’.
