450. Deferring [Pilgrimage] to the House

(جَعَلَ اللَّهُ الْكَعْبَةَ الْبَيْتَ الْحَرَامَ قِيَاماً لِلنّاسِ).1

"Allah has made the Ka'ba, the Sacred House, a [means of] sustentation for mankind." 2

1391.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام - لَمّا قالَ لَهُ عبدُ الرّحمنِ : إنَّ ناساً مِن هؤلاءِ القُصّاصِ يَقولونَ : إذا حَجَّ رجُلٌ حجّةً ثُمَّ تَصدَّقَ ووَصَلَ كانَ خَيراً لَهُ - : كَذَبوا ، لَو فَعلَ هذا النّاسُ لعُطِّلَ هذا البَيتُ ، إنَّ اللَّهَ تعالى جَعلَ هذا البَيتَ قِياماً للنّاسِ.3

1391. Imam al-Sadiq (AS), when Abd al-Rahman told him: 'Some of these narrators are saying that it is better for a man to go for pilgrimage once and then to gives alms and maintain his kinship with his relatives [with that money than to go for pilgrimage again]' - said, 'They are wrong. If people were to do that the House would become deserted. Allah has made this House a [means of] sustentation for mankind.' 4
