Hajj

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Jafar ibn Muhammad, from hisfather, that al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad once went to see AIi ibn AbiTalibat as-Suqya, where he was feeding some young camels of his with amash of meal and leaves, and he said to him, "This man Uthman ibnAffan is telling people that they cannot do hajj and umra together."

Al-Miqdad said, "Ali ibn Abi Talib went off with bits of mealand leaves on his forearms - and I shall never forget the sight of themeal and the leaves on his arms - and went to see Uthman ibn Affan andasked him, 'Are you saying then that people cannot do hajj and umratogether?' Uthman replied, 'That is my opinion.' Whereupon AIi gotangry and went out saying, 'I am at your service, O Allah, I am atyour service for a hajj and an umra together.' "

Malik said,"Our position (here in Madina) is that someone who does hajj and umratogether should not remove any of his hair, nor should he come out ofihram in any way until he has sacrificed an animal, if he has one. Heshould come out of ihram at Mina, on the day of the sacrifice."

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman,from Sulayman ibn Yasar, that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, set out for hajj in the year of thefarewell hajj, some of his companions went into ihram to do hajj onits own, some of them combined hajj and umra, and some went into ihramto do umra on its own. Those who had gone into ihram to do hajj, orhajj and umra together, did not come out of ihram, whils tthose whohad gone into ihram to doumra (on its own) came out of ihram.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard some of thepeople of knowledge say, "If someone goes into ihram to do umra andthen wants to go into ihram to do hajj as well, he can do so, as longas he has not done tawaf of the House and s'ay between Safa and Marwa.This is what Abdullah ibn 'Umar did when he said, 'If I am blockedfrom the House we shall do what we did when we were with the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.' He then turned tohis companions and said, 'It is the same either way. I call you towitness that I have decided in favour of hajj and umra together. ' "

Malik said, "The companions of the Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, went into ihram to do umra in theyear of the farewell hajj, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace, said to them, 'Anyone that has a sacrificialanimal with him should go into ihram to do hajj and umra together, andhe should not come out of ihram until he has finished both.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik that Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr ath-Thaqafi once asked Anas ibn Malik, while the two of them were goingfrom Mina to Arafa, "What did you use to do on this day when you werewith the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?"He said, "Those of us who were saying the talbiya would continue doingso, and no-one disapproved of it, and those of us who were saying'Allahu akbar' would continue doing so, and no-one disapproved of thateither."

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Jafar ibn Muhammad, from hisfather, that AIi ibn Abi Talib used to say the talbiya while on hajjuntil after noon on the day of Arafa, when he would stop doing so.

Yahya said that Malik said, "This is what the people ofknowledge in our city are still doing."

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim,from his father, that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace, would stop saying the talbiya when shearrived at the place of standing (i.e. Arafa) .

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Nafi, that when 'Abdullahibn Umar was doing hajj he would keep saying the talbiya until hereached the Haram and did tawaf of the House and say between Safa andMarwa. He would then say the talbiya until he left Mina to go toArafa, at which point he would stop doing so. If he was doing umra hewould stop saying the talbiya on entering the Haram.

Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab used to say,"Abdullah ibn Umar would never say the talbiya while he was doingtawaf of the House."

Yahya related to me from Malik, from AIqama ibn Abi AIqama, fromhis mother, that A'isha, umm al-muminin, used to camp on the plain ofArafa at a place called Namira, and then later she changed to anotherplace called al-Arak.

She said, ''A'isha, and those who werewith her, would say the talbiya while she was at the place where theywere camping, and then, when she had mounted and set out towards theplace of standing, she would stop doing so."

She continued,''A'isha used to do umra when she was in Makka after the hajj wasover, in the month of Dhu'l-Hijja.Then she stopped doing that, andinstead would set out before the new moon of Muharram for al-J uhfa,where she would stay until she saw the new moon, and then, when shehad seen the new moon, she would go into ihram to do umra."

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Yahya ibn Said, that Umaribn Abd alAziz was once going from Mina (to Arafa) on the day of Arafaand heard the takbir being said loudly, so he sent the guard to shoutout to the people, "O people, you should be saying the talbiya."

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim,from his father, that Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "People of Makka, whyis it that people arrive dishevelled while you still have oil on yourhair? Go into ihram when you see the new moon."

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Hisham ibn Urwa, thatAbdullah ibn az-Zubayr stayed in Makka for nine years. He would gointo ihram for hajj at the beginning of Dhu'l-Hijja, and Urwa ibn az-Zubayr, who was with him, would do likewise.

Yahya said thatMalik said, "The people of Makka and whoever else is living therebesides them should go into ihram for hajj if they are in Makka, andanyone that is living in the centre of Makka and is not one of thepeople of Makka should not leave the Haram."

Yahya said thatMalik said, "Someone who goes into ihram for hajj in Makka shoulddelay tawaf of the House and the sa'y between Safa and Marwa until hehas come back from Mina, which is what Abdullah ibn Umar used to do."

Malik was asked what the people of Madina, or anybody else,should do about tawaf if they went into ihram in Makka at thebeginning of Dhu'l-Hijja, and he said, "They should delay theobligatory tawaf, which is the one they combine with the say betweenSafa and Marwa, but they can do whatever other tawaf they want to, andthey should pray two rakas every time they complete seven tawafs,which is what the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, did when they had gone into ihram to dohajj. They delayed the tawaf of the House and the sa'y between Safaand Marwa until they had come back from Mina. Abdullah ibn Umar alsodid this, going into ihram for hajj in Makka at the beginning ofDhu'l-Hijja, and then delaying tawaf of theHouse and the say betweenSafa and Marwa until he had come back from Mina."

Malik wasasked whether one of the people of Makka could go into ihram to doumra in the centre of Makka, and he said, "No. He should go outsidethe Haram and go into ihram there."

Yahya related to me from Malik, from 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibnMuhammad, that Amra bint 'Abd ar-Rahman told him that Ziyad ibn AbiSufyan once wrote to A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace, saying, "'Abdullah ibn Abbas said thatwhatever was haram for some one doing hajj was also haram for some onewho sent a sacrificial animal until the animal was sacrificed. I havesent one, so write and tell me what you say about this, or tell theman in charge of the animal what to do.

Amra said that A'ishasaid, "It is notas Ibn Abbas has said. I once plaited the garlands forthe sacrificial animal of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, with my own two hands. Then after that theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, himselfput the garlands on the animal and then sent it with my father. Andthere was nothing that Allah had made halal forthe Messenger of Allah,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that was haram for him untilsuch time as the animal had been sacrificed."

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "I askedAmra bint Abd ar-Rahman if there was anything that was haram forsomeone who sent a sacrificial animal (to Makka) but did not go therehimself, and she told me that she had heard A'isha say, 'It is onlysome one who goes into ihram for hajj and begins saying the talbiyafor whom things are haram.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Yahya ibn Said, fromMuhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith at-Taymi, that Rabia ibn Abdullahibn al-Hudayr once saw a man in a state of ihram in Iraq. So he askedpeople about him and they said, "He has given directions for hissacrificial animal to be garlanded, and it is for that reason that hehas put on ihram ."

Rabia said, "I then met Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr and so I mentioned this to him and he said, 'By the Lord of theKaba, an innovation.' "

Malik was asked about some one whoset out with his own sacrificial animal and marked it and garlanded itat Dhu'l-Hulayfa, but did not go into ihram until he had reached al-Juhfa,and hesaid, "I do not like that, and whoever does so has notacted properly. He should only garland his sacrificial animal, or markit, when he goes into ihram, unless it is someone who does not intendto do hajj, in which case he sends it off and stays with his family."

Malik was asked if somone who was not in ihram could set outwith a sacrificial animal, and he said, "Yes. There is no harm inthat."

He was also asked to comment on the different viewspeople had about what became haram for some one who garlanded asacrificial animal but did not intend to do either hajj or umra, andhe said, "What we go by as far as this is concerned is what A'isha,umm al-muminin said, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, sent his sacrificial animal off and did not go therehimself, and there was nothing that Allah had made halal for him thatwas haram for him until the animal had been sacrificed.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Nafi, that Abdullah ibn Umarused to say, "A menstruating woman who wants to go into ihram to doeither hajj or umra can do so if she so wishes, but she cannot dotawaf of the House, nor the say between Safa and Marwa. She canparticipate in all the rituals along with everybody else, except thatshe cannot do tawaf of the House, nor the say between Safa and Marwa,nor can she come near the mosque until she is pure."

in the year of Hudaybiya, in the year of al-Qadiyya, andin the year of al-Jiirrana.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa, from hisfather, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, only did three umras, one of them in Shawwal, and two inDhu'l-Qada.

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Harmalaal-Aslami, that somebody asked Said ibn al-Musayyab, "Can I do umrabefore I do hajj?", and Said said, "Yes, the Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, did umra before doing hajj."

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Said ibnal-Musayyab, that Umar ibn Abi Salama once asked Umar ibn alKhattabfor permission to do umra in Shawwal. He gave him permission, so hedid umra and then went back to his family, and he did not do hajj.
