كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّ بَعْضَ مَوَالِيكَ بِالْبَصْرَةِ يُحْرِمُونَ بِبَطْنِ الْعَقِيقِ وَ لَيْسَ بِذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ مَاءٌ وَ لَا مَنْزِلٌ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ مَئُونَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ وَ يُعْجِلُهُمْ أَصْحَابُهُمْ وَ جَمَّالُهُمْ وَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ بَطْنِ الْعَقِيقِ بِخَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ مِيلًا مَنْزِلٌ فِيهِ مَاءٌ وَ هُوَ مَنْزِلُهُمُ الَّذِي يَنْزِلُونَ فِيهِ فَتَرَى أَنْ يُحْرِمُوا مِنْ مَوْضِعِ الْمَاءِ لِرِفْقِهِ بِهِمْ وَ خِفَّتِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَكَتَبَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَقَّتَ الْمَوَاقِيتَ لِأَهْلِهَا وَ لِمَنْ أَتَى عَلَيْهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهَا وَ فِيهَا رُخْصَةٌ لِمَنْ كَانَتْ بِهِ عِلَّةٌ فَلَا يُجَاوِزِ الْمِيقَاتَ إِلَّا مِنْ عِلَّةٍ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Safwan Bin Yahya, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I wrote to him<sup>asws</sup> Some of those in your<sup>asws</sup> Wilayah in Al-Basra are wearing <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span> at Batn Al-Aqeeq, and there is no water in that place, nor is there any lodging, and upon them regarding that requires intense provisions, and their companions and their cameleers hasten them; and from behind Batn Al-Aqeeq by fifteen miles, there is a station wherein is water, and it is their lodgement which they are encamping in. So what is your<sup>asws</sup> view if they were to wear <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span> from a place of water in order to be easier with them and light upon them’. So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> designated the junctures for its people and for the ones who come to it from other than its people, and with regards to it is a permission for the one who has a reason for it. Therefore, none should exceed the junctures except for the one who has a reason to do so’.
