Was not the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) Hajj a Qiran, and did he not offer a sacrificial animal, indicating that the sacrificial animal is obligatory for the one performing Qiran?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding Qiran, Shaykh, we said that the sacrificial animal is not obligatory according to the view that it is not required.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The sacrificial animal is mentioned as obligatory in Tamattu'.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : But cannot it be said, Shaykh, that the Companions did not originally know Tamattu', so here is the detail to know the rulings... Qiran, and the action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified... and the obligation of the sacrificial animal in it.
The Shaykh : There is no text indicating obligation.
The questioner : The action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : The action, not what indicates obligation.
The questioner : ... due to the presence of a cause.
The Shaykh : We do not know; it appears that in 'Umrah, they did not consider 'Umrah in the months of Hajj, nor with Qiran.
The questioner : Nor with Qiran.
The Shaykh : Nor with Qiran; this is what appears, because they said to him, Jabir said: "We do not intend anything but Hajj" We do not know 'Umrah except as Hajj. For this reason, they said, how can we make it 'Umrah when we have named it Hajj? In any case, there is no harm in the issue. I want to give you something to look into; this is the summary of what I have. What I mentioned first is the summary of what I have. This is the position of the majority, but when the author of al-Furu' mentioned it—and by the way, the author of al-Furu' researched Hajj in a way he did not research any other chapter of jurisprudence; he comprehensively discussed, for example, in one issue, he would bring up six or seven discussions—his expressions are difficult, but we advise reading it so people can get used to it. The important thing is when he mentioned this narration from Ahmad, and that Ahmad said it is not like Tamattu' which is obligatory, but they analogized it to it, he said that from this it is taken that the sacrificial animal is not obligatory, and this is the madhhab of Dawud al-Zahiri.
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And I send prayers and peace upon the noblest of the prophets and messengers, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The author (may Allah have mercy on us and him) said: "And when he settles on his mount, he says: Labbaik Allahumma labbaik, labbaik la sharika laka labbaik, innal hamda wan ni'mata laka wal mulk, la sharika laka. The man raises his voice with it, and the woman keeps it quiet".
