Hadith 7367

Something forbidden, by the Prophet ﷺ is legally prohibited unless there is a proof that (later on) it was (made) legal. Similarly, his orders render things obligatory,(1) as he said (to his Companions) when they finished their Ihram, "Sleep with your wives."(2)

7367. Narrated 'Aṭā': I heard Jābir bin 'Abdullāh in a gathering saying, "We, the Companions of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, assumed the state of Ihram to perform only Hajj without 'Umra." Jābir added, "The Prophet ﷺ arrived (at Makkah) on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. And when we arrived (in Makkah), the Prophet ﷺ ordered us to finish the state of Ihram, saying, 'Finish your Ihram and go to your wives [i.e., now sexual relationship with wives is legal (allowed) which was forbidden due to the state of Ihram.]" Jābir added, "The Prophet ﷺ did not oblige us (to go to our wives) but he only made that legal for us. Then he heard that we were saying, 'When there remains only five days between us and the day of 'Arafa he orders us to finish our Ihram by sleeping with our wives in which case we will proceed to 'Arafa with our male organs dribbling with (1) (Ch.27) Unless there is a proof that his order is just a recommendation. (2) (Ch.27) He said that to confirm his order that they should finish Ihram. semen?" (Jābir pointed out with his hand illustrating what he was saying). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stood up and said, 'You (people) know that I fear Allāh much, and I am the most truthful and the best doer of good deeds (pious) from among you. If I had not brought the Hady with me, I would have finished my Ihrām as you will do, so finish your Ihrām. If I had formerly known what I came to know lately, I would not have brought the Hady with me.' So we finished our Ihrām and listened to the Prophet ﷺ and obeyed him." [See Hadith No.1651]
