‘Abd Allah bin Umar said At the Farewell Pilgrimage the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) put on ihram first for ‘Umrah and afterwards for Hajj and drove the sacrificial animals along with him from Dhu Al Hulaifah. The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) first raised his voice in talbiyah for ‘Umrah and afterwards he did so for Hajj; and the people along with the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) did it first for ‘Umrah and afterwards for Hajj. Some of the people had brought sacrificial animals and others had not, so when the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) came to Makkah, he said to the people. Those of you who have brought sacrificial animals must not treat as lawful anything which has become unlawful for you till you complete your Hajj; but those of you who have not brought sacrificial animals should go round the House(Ka’bah) and run between Al Safa’ and Al Marwah, clip their hair, put off ihram, and afterwards raise their voice in talbiyah for Hajj and bring sacrificial animals. Those who cannot get sacrificial animals should fast three days during Hajj and seven days when they return to their families. The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) then performed circumambulation when he came to Makkah first touching the corner then running during three circuits out of seven and walking during four and when he had finished his circumambulation of the House (Ka’bah) he prayed two rak’ahs at Maqam Ibrahim, then giving the salutation and departing he went to Al Safa’ and ran seven times between Al Safa’ and Al Marwah. After that he did not treat anything as lawful which had become unlawful for him till he had completed his Hajj, sacrificed his animals on the day of sacrifice, went quickly and performed the circumambulation of the House(the Ka’bah), after which all that had been unlawful became lawful for him. Those people who had brought sacrificial animals did as the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) did.
The Rites of Hajj (Kitab Al-Manasik Wa'l-Hajj) - Sunan Abi Dawud 1805
This narration from Abdullah bin Umar details the Prophet's ﷺ procedure during the Farewell Pilgrimage, demonstrating the practice of Hajj al-Qiran (combining Umrah and Hajj). The Prophet ﷺ began with ihram for Umrah from Dhu al-Hulaifah, then added the intention for Hajj while having sacrificial animals with him, showing the permissibility of this combined form of pilgrimage.
Scholarly Commentary on the Hajj Procedures
The Prophet's ﷺ distinction between those with sacrificial animals and those without establishes two important rulings: Those with hady (sacrificial animals) must maintain their ihram until completing all Hajj rites, while those without may perform tawaf and sa'i, then shorten their hair to exit ihram temporarily—this is what scholars term al-tamattu' (enjoyment).
The description of tawaf shows the sunnah method: beginning at the Black Stone, performing ramal (brisk walking) in the first three circuits for men, and normal walking in the remaining four. This was specifically done in the arrival tawaf (tawaf al-qudum) to show strength and vigor before the polytheists.
Legal Rulings Derived
The obligation of sacrifice is emphasized, with the alternative of fasting for those unable to afford it—three days during Hajj and seven upon return home. This demonstrates Islam's consideration for varying financial capabilities while maintaining the rituals' spiritual objectives.
The sequence of rites—tawaf, sa'i between Safa and Marwah, maintaining ihram until sacrifice on Yawm al-Nahr (Day of Sacrifice), then final tawaf—establishes the proper order for Hajj al-Qiran. The Prophet's ﷺ practice serves as the ultimate example for all pilgrims to follow according to their specific type of Hajj.
