A man who vows to walk to the House of Allah, walks part of the way and then cannot continue

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man walking with great difficulty, supported between two men (the narrator Yazid said: he was walking supported by his two sons). He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is this?" The Companions said: This man has vowed that he will walk to the House of Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty is free of need of this man putting himself through such hardship. Go and tell him to ride."

He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man walking supported between two men (Yazid said: between his two sons). He said: "What is this?" They said: He vowed to walk. He said: "Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is free of need of this man's tormenting himself. Tell him to ride."

Except that Yazid said (in his chain): from Humayd, from Thabit, from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: My sister vowed that she would walk to the House of Allah barefoot, with her head uncovered. I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell your sister to cover her head, ride, and fast three days."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If a person vows that he will walk to the House of Allah, then becomes unable and cannot go (on foot), he should send a camel for sacrifice and go riding himself.

And from al-Hasan, from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: If he has made walking binding upon himself and is unable to do it, let him send a camel as a sacrifice (hady) and ride.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said concerning a person who, under a vow, walks half the way and then rides: He should come again the next year, ride the part of the way he walked and walk the part he rode, and slaughter a camel.

Al-Hasan said concerning a person who vows to perform Hajj on foot: He should keep walking, and when he becomes exhausted he should ride and offer a sacrifice.

Al-Hasan said: He should first walk, but if he becomes unable, he should ride and sacrifice a camel.

Amr bin Sa'id al-Bajali said: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was seated on the pulpit. A man came to him and said: O Commander of the Believers! I had vowed to perform Hajj on foot. When I had covered such and such a distance on foot, I feared that I might miss the Hajj, so I rode. He said: There is no sin upon you. Perform Hajj again next year, and walk the distance you travelled riding and ride the distance you walked.

Ata said concerning a person who vows to perform Hajj on foot, then after travelling part of the way on foot he rides: He should estimate what the compensation (value) is of the part of the journey he travelled riding. If it reaches the price of a camel, he should buy a camel and sacrifice it; and if that amount does not reach the price of a camel, he should give it in charity to the poor.

Yazid bin Abdullah bin Qusayt said: He should ride and sacrifice a camel.

And al-Qasim said: When the next year comes, he should walk the distance he travelled riding.

The mother of Urwah bin Udhaynah (and, in the report of Malik, his grandmother) vowed to perform Hajj on foot. Then, when she had walked as far as the place called al-Suqya, she became unable to walk any further. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about this, and he said: "Tell her to come again next year and to walk on from the place where she became unable to walk."

Ata said: Any woman who vows to perform Hajj on foot and then does not have the strength to walk should ride and offer a camel (badanah) as a sacrifice.
