Al-Halabi : He saysThe questioner : What is the difference between leaving an obligatory act and committing a prohibited act in Hajj?
The Shaykh : From which aspect is the question regarding the difference? Because if we want to answer the apparent question; the prohibited is like committing a forbidden act, and the obligatory is like leaving what is obligatory. So that is a command that one is ordered to do, and if he leaves it, he sins. And the prohibited is the forbidden, and if he commits it, he sins. As he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in his well-known, famous statement:Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:983, so whoever does not avoid it has sinned, and whoever does not obey has sinned.
Al-Halabi : And is the statement that a blood sacrifice is obligatory upon the pilgrim if he leaves an obligatory act a correct, acceptable statement in your view? Especially from those who cite the report of Ibn Abbas in that, claiming that it has the ruling of a marfu' report?
The Shaykh : No, we do not see that, due to the hadith of the Bedouin who entered ihram in his jibbah, so he (peace be upon him) ordered him to take it off, and to do in his 'Umrah what he does in his Hajj, and he did not order him to offer a blood sacrifice. And therefore, we do not say by the report of Ibn Abbas, and we are not bound by it. Rather, this hadith of al-Bukhari regarding the Bedouin is our example and our model in the matter of not making a blood sacrifice obligatory upon one who errs in something of the rites of Hajj, especially since that is what is consistent and responsive to the rule that says:Sunan Ibn Majah 2045Sahih (Darussalam).
Yes.

ما أمرتكم بشيء ؛ فأتوا منه ما استطعتم ، وما نهيتكم عنه ؛ فاجتنبوهAl-Halabi : And is the statement that a blood sacrifice is obligatory upon the pilgrim if he leaves an obligatory act a correct, acceptable statement in your view?
