Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah at Hudaybiyyah, did they remain in the state of ihram until the following year?

Answer:
No, I have not heard of that. He slaughtered his sacrificial animal, shaved his head, and exited the state of ihram. This is a case of being prevented (muhasar). He becomes one who is prevented.
But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animalsفَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
This is one who is prevented. This is called being prevented (ihsar). He exits the state of ihram and slaughters a fidyah (ransom payment), and he owes nothing. He does not have to make up the 'Umrah. The naming of the 'Umrah he agreed upon with the polytheists as "the 'Umrah of the Judgment" (or "the 'Umrah of the Case") is not because he was making up for a previous 'Umrah. Rather, it was a settlement between him and the polytheists. It is the 'Umrah of the Judgment, or the Case, or the Settlement.
