Explanation of the Book of Hajj-04b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Muhammad ibn Bashar narrated to us, Ghandar narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us from al-Hakam from 'Ali ibn Husayn from Marwan ibn al-Hakam, who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1563.
The Shaykh : However, the statement of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is not a proof, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the state of ihram for Hajj and 'Umrah but did not perform tamattu', as he had sacrificial animals with him. There is no doubt that for one who has sacrificial animals, it is better to perform qiran. As for one who does not have sacrificial animals, it is better to perform tamattu'. As for the prohibition of 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding tamattu', as I mentioned to you earlier, he, 'Umar, and Abu Bakr prohibited it in order to keep the Sacred House filled with visitors. For the people at that time, if they were able to come with 'Umrah and Hajj in one journey, it was easy for them. But if they set out from distant lands on camels, it was difficult. So these Caliphs feared that people would be lax in visiting the House. But there is no doubt that the best is what the Sunnah indicates, which is: the command to perform tamattu', and that it is better for a person to perform tamattu' in all cases, except if he brings sacrificial animals, in which case qiran is better.
I saw `Uthman and `Ali. `Uthman used to forbid people to perform Hajj-at-Tamattu` and Hajj-al- Qiran (Hajj and `Umra together), and when `Ali saw (this act of `Uthman), he assumed Ihram for Hajj and `Umra together saying, "Lubbaik for `Umra and Hajj," and said, "I will not leave the tradition of the Prophet (ﷺ) on the saying of somebody."
