2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Hariz who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a man who pays someone to perform al-Hajj for him from al-Kufah and he performs it from al-Basrah. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful; if he performs all acts, then his al-Hajj is complete.’”
