The ruling on one who reaches the evening of the Day of Sacrifice without having performed the circumambulation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We heard the answer regarding the hadith of Umm Salimah, which states: that if one does not perform the circumambulation of farewell before the evening of the Day of Sacrifice, his state of ihram returns to him, just as it was before the stoning. You mentioned that it contradicts the authentic hadiths. How does it contradict them, when this hadith is not a proof on its own?
Answer:
The authentic hadiths indicate that the state of ihram is lifted. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned the pillars and shaved his head, he applied perfume before he performed the circumambulation. He did not say to the people: "If you reach the evening without performing the circumambulation, your state of ihram returns to you." Rather, this is a hadith that came from the house of Umm Salimah, and its chain of narration is weak. As for what is in the explanation of Ma'ani al-Athar, that needs to be looked into, and I do not think it is authentic. Even if some people say it is authentic, I do not think it is authentic. If it were authentic, it would not have been hidden from the imams of Islam, from the imams of the Sunan, the two Sahihs, and other well-known imams, until al-Tahawi looked into it in his explanation of the Athar.
Then, even if it were authentic, it is an anomalous narration that contradicts the authentic hadiths indicating that the state of ihram is lifted. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lifted his state of ihram after he stoned the pillars and shaved his head, peace and blessings be upon him. He did not say to the people, in the presence of witnesses, that this is obligatory for you in such and such a way. These are great matters, general matters, where secret or internal things in the house of a woman do not occur. These are great matters. If this were a general legislation, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have explained it to the people and clarified it to the people, peace and blessings be upon him.
Then, the four imams and the majority of scholars, it is like a consensus. Only the disagreement of 'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr is narrated in this, otherwise it is like a consensus among the scholars of knowledge that if one lifts his state of ihram, his lifting is complete and does not return to the state of ihram. Their consensus is a proof. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1920. If they have reached a consensus, then the victorious group is among them, and 'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr is a Tabi'i, before whom are the Companions.

A group of people from my Umma will always remain triumphant on the right path and continue to be triumphant (against their opponents). He who deserts them shall not be able to do them any harm. They will remain in this position until Allah's Command is executed
لا تزال طائفةٌ من أمتي على الحق منصورة، لا يضرهم من خذلهم حتى يأتي أمر الله
