Discussion of the three forms of Hajj in the Qur'an.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Now, we are left with the Qur'an. The Qur'an has two or three forms. The first form is to enter the state of ihram for both Hajj and 'Umrah together, saying "Labbaik 'Umrah and Hajj" or "Labbaik Hajj and 'Umrah." They said the better option is to mention 'Umrah first in the talbiyah, saying "Labbaik 'Umrah and Hajj," because 'Umrah precedes Hajj. The second form is to enter ihram for Hajj alone, then—I made a mistake—to enter ihram for 'Umrah alone, then add Hajj to it before starting the tawaf. One enters ihram for 'Umrah first, then adds Hajj to it before starting the tawaf. The third form is to enter ihram for Hajj first, then add 'Umrah to it. There is disagreement regarding this form; many scholars permitted it, while others prohibited it. How many forms are there now? Entering ihram for both together, entering ihram for 'Umrah first then adding Hajj to it before starting its tawaf, and entering ihram for Hajj first then adding 'Umrah to it. These are three forms. The evidence for the first form is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was visited by Jibril, and he saidSunan Ibn Majah 2976Sahih (Darussalam) The evidence for this ihram for both together isSunan Ibn Majah 2976Sahih (Darussalam) The second evidence is entering ihram for 'Umrah first, then adding Hajj to it before starting its tawaf. This is what happened to 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when she entered ihram for 'Umrah and started menstruating at Saraf. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to declare her intention for Hajj. His order for her to declare her intention for Hajj was not an invalidation of the 'Umrah, as evidenced by his saying And this indicates that it did not invalidate the 'Umrah, because it did not invalidate the 'Umrah. He said, "Your tawaf of the House and of al-Safa and al-Marwah suffices you for Hajj only." So this is the evidence. And if you examine the evidence, you may find a contradiction and say that the evidence is more specific than the thing it is cited for, and it is not valid to cite the more specific for the more general, and the reverse is true. Is the speech clear or not?

The Shaykh : We said the second form is to enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah and then add Hajj to it. What did we use as evidence? The hadith of 'A'ishah that she menstruated before reaching Makkah, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to enter the state of ihram for Hajj and made her a qarin (one combining 'Umrah and Hajj). The evidence now is that what occurred in that situation resembles a dire necessity, because 'A'ishah in that state could not complete the 'Umrah while menstruating, correct?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Correct. If someone asks, "Is it not possible for her to become pure before going out to Mina? Because they arrived on the fourth day," we say, yes, it is possible. But religious matters are based on probability, on the preponderance of probability.
Pray in this blessed valley and say: (I intend to do) ‘Umrah in Hajj.
