2872 - وَ سَأَلَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْأَعْرَجُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلصَّرُورَةِ أَ يَحُجُّ عَنِ اَلْمَيِّتِ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدِ اَلصَّرُورَةُ مَا يَحُجُّ بِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَحُجَّ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَ هُوَ يُجْزِي عَنِ اَلْمَيِّتِ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ أَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ ».
Hadith.2872 - Sa'id ibn Abdullah al-A'raj asked Abu Abdullah 
about a person who has not performed Hajj (a ṣarūra): "Can they perform Hajj on behalf of a deceased person?"
Imam said: "Yes, if the ṣarūra does not have the means to perform Hajj for themselves. However, if they have wealth, they cannot do so until they perform Hajj for themselves from their own wealth. Performing Hajj on behalf of the deceased is valid whether the deceased had wealth or not."
