Question:
From Dalni Muhammad, from Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah, from ‘Amr, from ‘Ata, from Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said:.
Answer:
He is not praying on the ground. Aws ibn Isma‘il narrated to us, and Wahib narrated to us, and Ayyub narrated from Karmah, from Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married ‘Aymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) while he was in the state of ihram, and he consummated the marriage with her, and they traveled, and he lodged her in a tree, and Ibn Ishaq added: Ibn Abi Najih and his father and Salih narrated to me, from ‘Ata and Mujahid, from Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married Maimunah (may Allah be pleased with her) during a ‘Umrah performed to make up for a missed one. This is where Ibn ‘Abbas erred, just as Ibn ‘Umar erred regarding the ‘Umrah. Ibn ‘Abbas erred in his statement that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) married Maimunah while he was in the state of ihram. The preserved report is that he married her while he was in a state of permissibility, after he had finished the ‘Umrah by a significant margin. This is what Maimunah herself, the wife, said; she said: He married me while I was in a state of permissibility. And this is what Abu al-Rafi‘ said. The error between them is that he married her while in a state of permissibility, based on what? And this is in agreement with the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): So he prohibited it; he prohibited the one in the state of ihram from marrying, so it is included in the prohibition of the one who is in the state of ihram, peace and blessings be upon him. Therefore, the correct view is that he married her while in a state of permissibility, after he had finished the matter of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Yes.
From Dalni Muhammad, from Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah, from ‘Amr, from ‘Ata, from Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only performed the sa‘y between the Ka‘bah and al-Safa and al-Marwah to announce to the polytheists his strength.

The one in the state of ihram does not shave his head, does not slaughter, and does not propose marriage.
