2938. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: Dubâ'ah bint Zubair bin 'Abdul-Muttalib came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: "I am a heavy woman and I want to go for Hajj. How should I enter Ihrâm?" He said: "Enter Ihrâm and stipulate the condition that you will exit Ihrâm from the point where you are prevented." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2938 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَاوُسًا، وَعِكْرِمَةَ، يُحَدِّثَانِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَتْ ضُبَاعَةُ بِنْتُ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ ثَقِيلَةٌ، وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ، فَكَيْفَ أُهِلُّ؟ قَالَ: «أَهِلِّي، وَاشْتَرِطِي أَنَّ مَحِلِّي، حَيْثُ حَبَسْتَنِي»

Commentary

A sick person may go for Hajj and Umrah even though he fears increase in his illness. If it is feared that sickness could be a hindrance for the continuity of a journey, then the conditional Ihrâm should be observed. That means it should be said, 'O Allâh! Wherever I face obstacle that prevents me from continuing the journey I will get out of Ihrâm'. After intending a conditional Ihrâm if one is compelled to discontinue his Hajj or Umrah before completing it, then there is no expiation due on him; neither slaughtering a sheep nor giving any charity or the like.
