Benefits of the Hadith of Jabir.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And in it is evidence for the breadth of the rites of pilgrimage and that it is valid to enter the state of ihram with an unknown matter, because if you say, "I have entered ihram with what so-and-so entered with," it is unknown; you do not know whether he entered with 'Umrah, or Hajj, or Hajj and 'Umrah. But Hajj is broad in intention. Now, if someone says today, "I have entered ihram with what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered with," is it valid or not? Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "Whoever entered ihram in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as the Prophet entered ihram". Does this qualification from al-Bukhari indicate that if a person says today, "I have entered ihram with what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered with," is it valid or not? The apparent meaning of al-Bukhari's words is that it is not valid, but the apparent reality is that it is valid, because the intent of the speaker is the strength of following the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So he says, "I have entered ihram with what the Prophet entered with." We tell him: If you are knowledgeable, the meaning of your statement is that you entered with Qiran. And if you are ignorant, you learn. It is said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing Qiran. Look at the heading, because this qualification of al-Bukhari contains a problem.
