1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Muthanna’ al- Hannat from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘The months of al-Hajj are well known’ (2:197); they are Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa’dah and Dhu al-Hajj ah. No one has the right to perform al-Hajj in months other than these ones.’”

Whichever is done the duty of al-Hajj is complete. Al-Hajj is not performed except in the months that Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has called ‘well-known months’ which are Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa’dah and Dhu al-Hajj ah.’”
3. Ali has narrated through the same chain of his narrators has said the following: “He (the Imam) ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the months of al-Hajj are Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa’dah and ten days of Dhu al-Hajj ah.

Were it (greater al-Hajj) to begin with the day of ‘Arafah, it became four months and one day.’”
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I have heard abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, say, ‘Al-Hajj is of three kinds: al-Mufrad al-Hajj (al- Hajj without al-‘Umrah), Qiran, and al-Tamattu £ , which is al- £ Umrah along with al-Hajj. This is how the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, had commanded. This has excellence and we do not command people to complete an al-Hajj in a manner other than this (al-Tamaatu‘).’”

Afi ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz who has said the following: “I once asked Abu `Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ’Which kind of al-Hajj is more virtuous?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is al-Tamattu £ . How can there be anything more virtuous and the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “In future I certainly will not go back. I will do what people are doing.” (People did al-Tamattu £ and the Messenger of Allah performed Tfrad (Individual Hajj ).’” (see Chapter 27 h4 above)

5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, al-Thaniy, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, would say, “Those who come out of the state of Ihram after al- £ Umrah until commencing acts of al-Hajj are better than those performing al-Hajj alone driving the offering animal with them.” He (the Imam) would say, ‘There is not anything better in acts of al-Hajj than al-Mut £ ah (coming out of the state of Ihram after al- £ Umrah until the commencement of the acts of al-Hajj).”’

Certain persons of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ibn abu Najran from Safwan al-Jammal who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of certain people who say that one must perform al-Hajj alone, others say to make it Qiran and drive the offering animal, and still others say to take advantage between al-‘Umrah and al-Hajj. He (the Imam), ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ‘If I will perform al-Hajj for a thousand years I will not make it Qiran. I will only perform advantageous al- Hajj (al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ ).’”
8. Ahmad ibn Muhammad from has narrated from Ali ibn Hadid who has said the following: “Once Ali ibn Muyassir wrote to him (the Imam) asking about a man who performed al-‘Umrah in the month of Ramadan, then it was al-Hajj season; if he could perform al-Hajj as al-Mufrid al-Hajj or al- Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), and which one was better.

Is it al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) or Mufrid driving the offering animal along with one’s self? He (the Imam) said, ‘Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, would say, “A-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) is better than Mufrid with driving the offering animal.” He (the Imam) would say, “One performing al-Hajj cannot enter Makkah with anything better than al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous).””’

We do not compromise with the book of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to your cause. When our Lord will resurrect us and we will be brought before Him we will say, O our Lord we followed Your book and the Sunnah of Your Holy prophet.

Certain ones among us were for their first al-Hajj. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must perform al- Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous); I because of taqiyyah, fear from Sultan; do not give up al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous), do not ignore staying away from intoxicating liquor and do not wipe over the shoes.’”

He (the Imam) said, ‘In each one there is goodness and beauty.’ I then asked, ‘Which one is more virtuous?’ He (the Imam) said that ‘Al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) by Allah is more virtuous.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘People of Makkah say that his al-‘Umrah is Iraqiy and his al-Hajj is Makkiy. They by Allah speak a lie. Is not al-‘Umrah related to his al-Hajj from which he cannot come out unless he completes them all?’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘I used to go for al-‘Umrah one or two nights before the end of the month of Rajab and ‘Umm Farwah would say, “O father, our al-‘Umrah is in the month of al-Sha‘ban.” I would say, “My daughter it will be of the time when I commence not of the time when I will come out of the state of Ihram.’””

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from ‘Abd al-Malik ibn ’A‘yan who has said the following: “Once, a group of our people performed al-Hajj, and when they arrived in al-Madinah, went to visit abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam. They said that Zurarah has told them to commence their al-Hajj upon assuming the state of Ihram. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous).’ When they left I went to see him (the Imam) and said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, if you do not tell them what you have told to Zurarah, we will go to al- Kufah and will prove him a liar. He (the Imam) said, ‘Call them back. They came back and he (the Imam) said, ‘What Zurarah has said is true.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘By Allah, from this day on no one will hear this from me.’”

Upon arriving in Makkah there is a Tawaf around the House and two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) near Maqam of Ibrahim, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah, then is Taqsir (cutting some hair or finger nails and so on). With this, one comes out of the state of Ihram of al-‘Umrah and for al-Hajj there are two Tawaf obligatory upon him, one Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al- Marwah and after every Tawaf, one must perform two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) near Maqam of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam.’”

He must assume the state of Ihram on the day of al- Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah) and stop Talbiyat on the day of ‘Arafah (9th of Dhu al-Hajj ah) at Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime).’”

Make it kneel down facing al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah), then enter Masjid to perform Salat (prayer), after Salat (prayer) make it obligatory; then go out to the offering animal and mark the side of its hump then say, “In the name of Allah, O Lord, it is from You and for You. O Lord, accept it from me”, then move until you arrive in al-Bayda’ (name of a place), then say Talbiyah.’”

3. Aban has narrated from Ibrahim ibn abu ‘Abd Allah and Zurarah who have said the following: “We once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about al-Budn (camel), how to mark it, when the owner is required to assume the state of Ihram, which side is marked and is it slaughtered tied down or knelt down.

Mark it on its right side and its owner assumes the state of Ihram when something is placed around its neck or is marked.’”
5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘When there are many al-Budn, one stands in between the two, then marks on the right and then on the left. Never mark before you are ready to assume the state of Ihram because when it is decorated, something placed around its neck or marked, assuming the state of Ihram becomes obligatory upon you and it is like Talbiyah.’”
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Al-Bun is marked on its right side and the man stands on the left, then places something around its neck like an old shoe with which one has performed Salat (prayer).”’

He is not required to offer al-Hady (offering animal) or sacrifice.’ I then asked him (the Imam) about Ifrad al-Hajj; if he must perform Tawaf after obligatory Tawaf. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, as much as he wants and repeats Talbiyah after two Rak‘at. One performing al-Qiran al-Hajj also in the same way establishes what was made free of Tawaf because of Talbiyah.’” (The above is best explained in the form of fatwa.)
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about a man who says Talbiyah for al-Hajj in Ifrad manner (al-Hajj without al- £ Umrah), enters Makkah, performs Tawaf around the House, two Rak £ at Salat (prayer) near Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, performs Sa £ y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah.

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, if people of Makkah can perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous).

He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not permissible for them to perform al- Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous).’ I then asked if a resident could perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous). He (the Imam) said, ‘If one resides there for one or two years he is considered as people of Makkah.’ I then asked if one who stays there for one month can he perform al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous)? He (the Imam) said, ‘He must perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous).’ I then asked, ‘Wherefrom must he commence his al-Hajj?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He must go out of al-Haram (the sacred area).’ I then asked, ‘Where must he say Talbiyah for al-Hajj?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He must say Talbiyah from where people say it.’”
5. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, that I want to reside in Makkah, what am I required to do? He (the Imam) said, ‘When you see the new moon of Dhu al-Hajj ah then go out to al-Ja‘ranah, then assume the state of Ihram from there for al-Hajj.’ I then asked, ‘What am I required to do if I enter Makkah and remain there until the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah) without performing Tawaf around the House?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘(If you) stay there for ten days but do not visit al-Ka‘bah, it is a long time and you cannot leave it as if neglected. However, when you enter Makkah, you can perform Tawaf around the House and perform Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al- Marwah.’ I then asked, ‘Is it not the case that it is considered as coming out of the state of Ihram after Tawaf and Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah? He (the Imam) said, ‘You commence with Talbiyah.’ Then he (the Imam) said, ‘Whenever you perform Tawaf and two Rak‘at Salat (prayer), then commence with Talbiyah.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Sufyan, your faqih came to me and said, “What makes you to instruct your followers to assume the state of Ihram from al-Ja‘ranah?’” I said to him, ‘It is a place of the places wherefrom the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, assumed the state of Ihram.’ He then asked, ‘Which one of the Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) of the Messenger of Allah is it?’ I then said to him, ‘The Messenger of Allah assumed the state of Ihram from this place when he distributed gains of the battle of Hunayn and upon returning from Ta’if.’ He said, ‘This is what I have taken from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar who upon seeing the moon would call aloud for al-Hajj.’ I then said, ‘Was he not an acceptable person among you?’ He replied, ‘Yes, he was acceptable. However, did you not know that the companions of the Messenger of Allah would assume the state of Ihram from the Masjid?’ I then said, ‘These people were to perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), with blood on their necks (they owed to offer sacrifice) and those people were people of Makkah who could not perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous). I liked that they go out of Makkah to one of the Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) and remain absent for a few days.’ He (Sufyan) then said to me, ‘I will report that it is one of the Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) of the Messenger of Allah and I will see that you, O abu ‘Abd Allah, will not do so.’ I then laughed and said, ‘I will, however, see that they do so.’ ‘Abd al-Rahman then asked about the women with us and about what they are required to do. He (the Imam) said, ‘If privacy was not an issue in the case of women, I would instruct those of them who perform al-Hajj for the first time to go out. So instruct those of them who perform al-Hajj for the first time to commence al-Hajj with the new moon of Dhu al-Hajj ah and those of them who have performed al-Hajj before to commence al-Hajj on the fifth of Dhu al-Hajj ah or on al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah).’ He went out and we stayed. Certain ones of the women with us who performed al-Hajj for the first time became ill (experienced Hayd (menses)). On fifth of Dhu al- Hajj ah he came and I then sent him (the Imam) a message that certain ones of the women who perform al-Hajj for the first time have become ill, ‘What are they required to do?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘They must wait until al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajjah). If they become clean they commence (say Talbiyah) for al-Hajj, otherwise, before the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajjah), they must assume the state of Ihram and others commence (say Talbiyah) for al-Hajj on the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajjah).’ I then asked, ‘There is a new born child with us. What must we do?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Instruct the mother to meet Hamidah and asked her about what to do about the child.’ She went to her and asked about what to do. She (Hamidah) told her, ‘On the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajjah) assume the state of Ihram for him (the child), take off his clothes and give him Ghusl (bath) as people in the state of Ihram take off their clothes, make him stay in the staying places and on the day of sacrifice throw pebbles for him. Shave his head and instruct the slave-girl to perform Tawaf with him (Sa‘y) between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah.’ I then asked him about a man of the people of Makkah who goes to certain cities and returns to Makkah and passes by a certain Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram). Can he perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous)?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘I do not think he cannot do so, if he were to do; while I like his commencing (saying Talbiyah).”’
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Isma‘il ibn Marrar from Yunus from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, say, ‘One who resides in Makkah for one year is like the people of Makkah, thus, he must perform al-Hajj in Ifrad manner (al-Hajj without al-‘Umrah) along with the people of Makkah. However, if one resides in Makkah for less than one year, he is required to perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous).’”
7. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Sama‘ah who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about a man who resides in Makkah: if he can perform al-‘Umrah of al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous). He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so. He goes out to a Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) to say Talbiyah, if he likes.’”
8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from those whom he has mentioned who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If one enters Makkah to perform al-Hajj for others then remains in Makkah for one year, he is considered as one of the people of Makkah. If he wants to perform al-Hajj for himself or wants to perform al-‘Umrah after returning from ‘Arafat, he cannot then assume the state of Ihram in Makkah. He must go out to a Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) and every time he changes, he is required to go to a Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram).”’
9. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Safwan from abu al-Fadl who has said the following: “I resided in Makkah and I asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about wherefrom should I assume the state of Ihram for al-Hajj. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must assume the state of Ihram from where the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, did which is al-Ja‘ranah, which is the place where victory came to him several times like the victory of Ta’if, Khaybar and the Victory.’ I then asked, ‘When should I go out?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If it is your first al-Hajj, you can go out on the second day of Dhu al-Hajj ah, but if it is not your first al-Hajj, then you can go out on fifth of Dhu al-Hajj ah.’”
10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Isma‘il ibn Marrar from Yunus from Sama‘ah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If a resident of Makkah enters Makkah for al-‘Umrah in non-Dhu al-Hajj ah months, like Rajab, the month of al-Sha‘ban or the month of Ramadan or other months other than Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa’dah or Dhu al-Hajj ah, thereafter wants to go out, he can go to al-Ja‘ranah. He can assume the state of Ihram, then go to Makkah and continue Talbiyah until he can see the House. He then must perform Tawaf around the House, two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) near Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, then he must go for Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He then must complete Taqsir (cut or trim a part of his nails or hair) and come out of the state of Ihram. Thereafter, on the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah) say Talbiyah (for al-Hajj).”’
