Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Yazid narrates that we set out with Hazrat Ammar to perform Umrah. When we reached the place called Dhat al-Shaquq, one of our companions was bitten by a snake. We began to look for someone along the way to ask what should be done about this. Suddenly, we saw that Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud was also in the caravan. We said, "Our companion has been bitten by a snake." He said, "Set aside a specific day between yourself and your companion, and send a sacrificial animal on his behalf. When the animal is sacrificed, that person will become halal (released from Ihram) on that day. He must make up for this Umrah later."

Hazrat Abu Alaa bin Shukhair says that I set out with the intention of performing Umrah. While I was still on the way, I fell from my mount and my leg broke. I sent a person to Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) to ask them about my situation. Both of them said: There is no fixed time for Umrah like there is for Hajj, so he should not come out of the state of Ihram until he performs Tawaf. The narrator says that I stayed at the place of Dathniyyah for five or eight months.

Hazrat Tawus says regarding the person who enters into the state of Ihram for Umrah and then encounters an impediment, that he should send a sacrificial animal (Hadi), estimate how many days it will take for the Hadi to reach, remain in Ihram for that many days, and then exit the state of Ihram.
