Hajj

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-Zubayr that A'isha umm al-muminin used to say, "Someone performinghajj at-tamattu who does not have a sacrificial animal fasts (threedays) from the time he enters ihram for the hajj till the Day ofArafa, and if he does not fast then, he fasts the days of Mina."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibnAbdullah that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say the same concerning that,as the words of A'isha, may Allah the Exalted be pleased with her.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasimfrom his father from Asma bint Umays that she gave birth to Muhammadibn Abi Bakr at al-Bayda. Abu Bakr mentioned this to the Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he said, "Tell herto do ghusl and then enter ihram."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Said ibnal-Musayyab that Asma bint Umays gave birth to Muhammad ibn Abi Bakrat Dhu'l-Hulayfa and Abu Bakr told her to do ghusl and then enterihram.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' that 'Abdullah ibn Umarused to do ghusl for ihram before he entered ihram, and for enteringMakka, and for standing on the afternoon of 'Arafa.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ibrahimibn Abdullah ibn Hunayn from his father Abdullah ibn Hunayn thatAbdullah ibn Abbas and al-Miswar ibn Makhrama once had a disagreementat al-Abwa. Abdullah said that some one in ihram could wash his head,and al Miswar ibn Makhrama maintained that some one in ihram could notwash his head.

Abdullah ibn Hunayn continued, "Abdullah ibnAbbas sent me to Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, and I found him doing ghuslbetween the posts of a well, screened by a garment. I greeted him andhesaid, 'Who is that?' I replied, 'I am 'Abdullah ibn Hunayn.'Abdullah ibn Abbas sent me to you to ask how the Messenger of Allah,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to wash his head when hewas in ihram.' "

He continued, "Abu Ayyub put his hand on thegarment and pulled it down until I could see his head. He said to theman who was pouring out the water for him, 'Pour,' and he poured someover his head. Then he passed his hands over his head from the frontto the back and then to the front again, and then said, 'I saw theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, doing itlike this.' "

Malik related to me from Humayd ibn Qays from Ata ibn Abi Rabahthat 'Umar ibn alKhattab once asked Yala ibn Munya, who was pouringout water for him while he was having a ghusl, to pour some on hishead. Ya'la said, "Are you trying to make me responsible? I will onlypour it out if you tell me to do so." Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "Pour.It will only make (my head) more unkempt."

Malik related to me from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar would spendthe night between the two trails in the valley of Dhu Tuwa when he wasapproaching Makka. Then he would pray subh, and after that he wouldenter Makka by the trail which is at the highest part of Makka. Hewould never enter Makka, if he was coming for hajj or umra, withoutdoing ghusl beforehand when he was near Makka at Dhu Tuwa, and hewould tell whoever was with him to do likewise.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarwould never wash his head while he was in ihram except if he had to doghusl because of a wet dream.

Malik said, "I have heard thepeople of knowledge say that there is no harm in someone who is inihram rubbing his head with certain kinds of plants after he hasstoned the Jamrat al-Aqaba but before he has shaved his head, becauseonce he has finished stoning the Jamrat al-Aqaba it is halal for himto kill lice, to shave his head, to clean himself of body hair, and towear normal clothes."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umarthat a man once asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, what clothes someone in ihram could wear, and theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Donot wear shirts, turbans, trousers, burnouses, or leather socks,except if you cannot find sandals. In that case you can wear leathersocks, but cut them off below the ankles. Do not wear any clothes thathave been touched by saffron or yellow dye."

Yahya said thatMalik was asked about the hadith attributed to the Prophet, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, "Whoever cannot find a waist wrappershould wear trousers," and he said, "I have never heard this, and I donot think that some one who is in ihram can wear trousers, becauseamong the things which the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, forbade some one in ihram to wear were trousers, and he did notmake any exception for them although he did make an exception forleather socks."

20.4 Wearing Clothes when in Ihram

Yahya related to me from Malik from 'Abdullah ibn Dinar thatAbdullah ibn Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, forbade anyone in ihram to wear a garment whichhad been dyed with saffron or yellow dye, and said, 'Anyone thatcannot find sandals can wear leather socks, but he should cut them offbelow the ankles.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that he had heard Aslam,the mawla of Umar ibn al-Khattab, telling 'Abdullah ibn Umar that Umaribn al-Khattab once saw a dyed garment on Talha ibn Ubaydullah whilehe was in ihram and Umar said, "What is this dyed garment, Talha?",and Talha said, "Amir al-muminin, it is only mud.'' Umar said, "Youand your like are taken by people as imams, and if an ignorant manwere to see this garment he would say that Talha ibn Ubaydullah usedto wear a dyed robe while he was in ihram. So do not wear any form ofdyed clothes."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from hisfather that Asma bint Abi Bakr had worn clothes that were completelydyed with safflower while she was in ihram, though there was not anysaffron in them.

Yahya said that Malik was asked if a garmentwhich had been perfumed could be used for ihram if the smell of theperfume had gone, and he said, "Yes, as long as there is no saffron oryellow dye in it."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umarused to disapprove of anybody wearing a belt or girdle while in ihram.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarused to say that a man in ihram should not veil anything above hischin .

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarshrouded his son Waqid ibn Abdullah, who had died at al-Juhfa while inihram, and he veiled his head and face and said, "If we had not beenin ihram we would have perfumed him. "

Malik said, "A man canonly do things while he is alive. When he is dead, his actions stop."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarused to say that a woman in ihram should wear neither a veil norgloves.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that Fatimabint al-Mundhir said, "We used to veil our faces when we were in ihramin the company of Asma bint Abi Bakr as-Siddiq."

20.7 WearingPerfume during Hajj.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasimfrom his father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace, said, "I perfumed the Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, for his ihram before he enteredihram, and when he came out of ihram before he did tawaf of theHouse."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Humayd ibn Qays from Ata ibnRabah that a bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace, when he was at Hunayn, and he was wearing ashirt with traces of yellow on it. He said, "Messenger of Allah, Ihave entered ihram for umra. What should I do?" The Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, "Take offyour shirt and wash off this yellowness and do in umra as you would doon hajj."
