Al-Kafi 6953

Translation

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Raib, from Bureyd Al Ijaly who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far^asws about a man who went out as a pilgrim and with him was a camel of his, and expense money, and provisions. So he died on the way’. He^asws said: ‘If he was <span class="iTxt">Saroura</span> (not having had performed Hajj), then died in <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span>, so it has sufficed from him for Hajj of Al-Islam; but if he died and he was <span class="iTxt">Saroura</span> (not having had performed Hajj) before he wore <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span>, his camel and his provisions and his expenses would be made to be for a Hajj of Al-Islam. So if there is something excess from that, so it would be for the inheritors, if there do no happen to be debts upon him’. I said, ‘What is your^asws view if the Hajj was optional, then he died on the way before he wore <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span>, for whom would be his camel, and his expense money, and whatever was with him?’ He^asws said: ‘Whatever was with him, and whatever he left would happen to be for his inheritors, except if there happen to be debts upon him, so these would be fulfilled on his behalf; or if he had bequeathed with a bequest, so that bequest would be established for the one to whom it had been bequeathed to, and that would be made to be from his one-third (of his wealth/belongings)’.
