The First Exit from Ihram by Performing One of Three Acts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some scholars say that if the pilgrim performs one of three acts, he exits the state of ihram for the first time. Is this correct?
The Shaykh:
There is no practice based on this. It is found in al-Mughni and other works by some scholars, but there is no practice based on it. All the manuals of the scholars state that two acts are required. It is necessary to have two acts, as stated by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, and all the manuals mention that two acts are required. We go looking for opinions that have no practice based on them and present them to the people, causing confusion among them. Also, this is the safer and more complete position.
The questioner:
Your brother.
The Shaykh:
You search and find many opinions, but they are of no use at all. You want to find an opinion that is suitable for you. The criterion is not the opinions, but the evidence and what is practiced. We must be careful to preserve our knowledge and our religion. We should not present to the people the abandoned opinions, or the weaker opinions, or those with no evidence and no practice, thereby causing confusion in their worship.
