Hadith.2918 - It was narrated from Harith, the seller of mats, that Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a man who had instructed in his will that a Hajj be performed on his behalf. Imam (as) said: "If he was a ṣarūra (someone who had not performed the Hajj of Islam), it should be taken from the principal of his estate, as it is a debt upon him. But if he had already performed Hajj, it should be taken from one-third of his estate."
