Optional Charity When Leaving Makkah
2 Aḥadīth

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ وَحَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْحَاجِّ إِذَا قَضَى نُسُكَهُ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَ بِدِرْهَمٍ تَمْراً يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ فَيَكُونُ كَفَّارَةً لِمَا لَعَلَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي حَجِّهِ مِنْ حَكٍّ أَوْ قَمْلَةٍ سَقَطَتْ أَوْ نَحْوِ ذَلِكَ.


1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Urn ay r from Hammad from al-Halabiy from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar and Hafs af-Bakhtariy who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s), has said that after completing al-Hajj when about to leave, one should buy a dirham worth of dates and give as charity; as expiation for, one, perhaps, during his al- Hajj, one may have scratched his body or may have caused some insect to fall off his body or so.”’

2ـ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَاشْتَرِ بِدِرْهَمٍ تَمْراً فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَبْضَةً قَبْضَةً فَيَكُونَ لِكُلِّ مَا كَانَ مِنْكَ فِي إِحْرَامِكَ وَمَا كَانَ مِنْكَ بِمَكَّةَ.


2. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama‘ah from those whom he has mentioned from Aban from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s), has said, ‘When you want to leave Makkah, buy one dirham of dates. Give it as charity, a handful and a handful and it will be (as ransom) for you because of what may have happened during the time you were in the state of Ihram and when you were in Makkah.’” (Fatwa best explains Hadith 2 of this Chapter)
