1572. Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهم said that he had been asked regarding Hajj-at-Tamattu’ on which he said, “The Muhājirīn (emigrants) and the Anṣār and the wives of the Prophet ﷺ and we did the same. When we reached Makkah, Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “Give up your intention of doing the Hajj (at this moment) and perform ‘Umra, except the one who has garlanded the Hady.” So, we performed Tawāf round the Ka’bah and [Sa’y (going)] between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa, slept with our wives and wore ordinary (stitched) clothes. The Prophet ﷺ added, “Whoever has garlanded his Hady is not allowed to finish the Iḥrām till the Hady has reached its destination (has been sacrificed)”. Then on the night of Tarwīya (8th Dhul-Hijjah, in the afternoon) he ordered us to assume Iḥrām for Hajj and when we have performed all the ceremonies of Hajj, we came and performed Tawāf round the Ka’bah and (Sa’y) between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa, and then our Hajj was complete, and we had to sacrifice a Haay according to the Statement of Allāh: “... He must slaughter a Hady such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, he should observe Saum (fasts) three days during the Hajj and seven days after his return (to his home)...” (V.2:196) And the sacrifice of a sheep is sufficient. So, the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions joined the two religious deeds, (i.e. Hajj and ‘Umra) in one year, for Allāh revealed (the permissibility) of such practice in His Book and in the Sunna (legal ways) of His Prophet ﷺ and rendered it permissible for all the people except those living in Makkah. Allāh says: ‘This is for him whose family is not present at the Al-Masjid-al-Harām, (i.e. non-resident of Makkah).” The months of Hajj which Allāh mentioned in His Book are: Shawwāl, Dhul-Qa’da and Dhul-Hijjah. Whoever performed Hajj-at-Tamattu’ in those months, then slaughtering or fasting is compulsory for him. The words: 1. Ar-Rafatha means sexual intercourse, 2. Al-Fasūq means all kinds of sin, and 3. Al-Jidāl means to dispute.
