Al-Kafi 7349

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Umeyr and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, and Safwan, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, said, ‘I heard him^asws saying: ‘The confined one is other than a prevented one. The confined one is the sick (confined by the illness), and the prevented one is the one whom the Polytheists prevent, just as they returned Rasool-Allah^saww and his^saww companions, not being from an illness. And the prevented one, the women are Permissible for him, and the confined one, the women are not Permissible for him. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him^asws about a man who is confined (by an illness), so he sends the sacrificial animal. He^asws said: ‘His companions would set up a promised time. If it was regarding the Hajj, so the time for the offering is the day of the sacrifice. So when it would be the day of the sacrifice, so let him shorten (hair) from his head, and the shaving is not Obligated upon him until the rituals are fulfilled. And, if it was regarding an Umra, so let him wait until his companions enter Makkah, and the time which they had set up for him with regards to it. So when it is that particular time, he shortens (hair, nails etc.), and frees from <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span>. And if it was that he had fallen sick on the way after having had worn <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span>, and he intended the return, he can return to his family, and sacrifice his animal, or he can stay in his place until he is cured. If it was during an Umra and when he is cured, so upon him is the (performing of the) Umra, an Obligation. And if the Hajj was outstanding upon him, he can either return or stay. So if the Hajj is missed, upon him would be the Hajj in the next year’. Al-Husayn^asws Bin Ali^asws went out for performing Umra, but he^asws fell ill on the way. So (the news of) that reached Ali^asws, and he^asws was in Al-Medina. So he^asws went out seeking him^asws, and he^asws came across him^asws at Al-Suqya, and the illness was with him^asws. So he^asws said: ‘O my^asws son^asws! What is your^saww complaint?’ So he^asws said: ‘I^asws complain of my^asws head’. So Ali^asws called for his^asws sacrificial animal and sacrificed it, and shaved his^asws head, and returned him^asws to Al-Medina. So when he^asws was cured from his^asws pain, he^asws performed Umra’. I said, ‘What is your^asws view, where he^asws was cured from his^asws pain before he went out to perform Umra, were the women Permissible unto him^asws?’ He^asws said: ‘The women are not Permissible to him^asws until he^asws circumambulates by the House (Kabah), and with Al-Safa and Al-Marwa (Sa’ee)’. I said, ‘So what was the matter, Rasool-Allah^saww, where he^saww returned from Al-Medina, the Women were Permissible unto him^saww and he^saww had not circumambulated by the House (Kabah)?’ He^asws said: ‘They are not the same. The Prophet^saww was prevented, and Al-Husayn^asws was confined (by illness)’.
