حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، مِنْ خَثْعَمٍ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي أَدْرَكَتْهُ فَرِيضَةُ اللَّهِ فِي الْحَجِّ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَسْتَوِيَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْبَعِيرِ . قَالَ " حُجِّي عَنْهُ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَبُرَيْدَةَ وَحُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَأَبِي رَزِينٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ وَسَوْدَةَ بِنْتِ زَمْعَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَيْضًا عَنْ سِنَانِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا عَنْ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَاتِ فَقَالَ أَصَحُّ شَيْءٍ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ مَا رَوَى ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَيَحْتَمِلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ سَمِعَهُ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ رَوَى هَذَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَرْسَلَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ مِنْهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَقَدْ صَحَّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ غَيْرُ حَدِيثٍ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ يَرَوْنَ أَنْ يُحَجَّ عَنِ الْمَيِّتِ . وَقَالَ مَالِكٌ إِذَا أَوْصَى أَنْ يُحَجَّ عَنْهُ حُجَّ عَنْهُ . وَقَدْ رَخَّصَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنْ يُحَجَّ عَنِ الْحَىِّ إِذَا كَانَ كَبِيرًا أَوْ بِحَالٍ لاَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَحُجَّ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ .

Ahmad ibn Mani' narrated to us: Rawh ibn Ubadah narrated to us: Ibn Jurayj narrated to us: Ibn Shihab informed me: Sulayman ibn Yasar told me, from Abd Allah ibn Abbas, from al-Fadl ibn Abbas, that a woman from Khath'am said, ‘Messenger of Allah, the obligation of Hajj decreed by Allah has come due for my father, but he is very old and cannot sit upright on a camel.’ He replied, ‘Perform Hajj on his behalf.’
There are reports on this topic from Ali, Buraydah, Husayn ibn Awf, Abu Razin al-Uqayli, Sawdah bint Zam'ah, and Ibn Abbas. Abu Isa said: The hadith of al-Fadl ibn Abbas is hasan sahih. It has also been narrated from Ibn Abbas, from Husayn ibn Awf al-Muzani, from the Prophet; from Ibn Abbas, from Sinan ibn Abd Allah al-Juhani, from his aunt, from the Prophet; and directly from Ibn Abbas from the Prophet. I asked Muhammad about these versions, and he said: The soundest report on this subject is the one Ibn Abbas narrated from al-Fadl ibn Abbas, from the Prophet. Muhammad said it is possible that Ibn Abbas heard it from al-Fadl and others, then narrated it directly from the Prophet, omitting the person from whom he heard it.
Abu Isa said: More than one sound hadith from the Prophet is established on this topic. Scholars among the Prophet's Companions and others act on this. Al-Thawri, Ibn al-Mubarak, al-Shafi'i, Ahmad, and Ishaq hold that Hajj may be performed on behalf of the deceased. Malik said that if a deceased person made a bequest for Hajj to be performed on his behalf, it should be done. Some scholars also permitted Hajj on behalf of a living person who is elderly or otherwise unable to perform it; this is the view of Ibn al-Mubarak and al-Shafi'i.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report concerns proxy Hajj for a person unable to travel, and the commentary distinguishes deceased people from living people who are incapacitated.
