“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who is referred to Sultan who has held him unjustly on the day of ‘Arafah from attending. He is sent to Makkah in jail. On the day of al-Nahr (offering sacrifice) he is released. What should he do? He (the Imam) said, ‘He must catch up to stay at the gathering place (‘Arafat), then return to Mina, throw pebbles, slaughter, shave and there is nothing on him.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if he is released on the day of departure?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He is an al-Masdud (prevented) person. If he had entered Makkah for al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous), he must perform Tawaf around the House seven times, do Sa‘y between al- Safa’ and al-Marwah seven times, shave his head and slaughter a sheep. If he was for performing al- Mufrid al-Hajj, he is not required to offer for slaughtering and there is nothing on him.’”
