Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It was asked from Hazrat Abu Ja'far about the person who performs Qiran. He said: I like that the one performing Qiran should drive the Hadi (sacrificial animal) from the place where he assumes Ihram.

Hazrat Ata was asked: If a person performs Hajj and Umrah together? He replied: If he wishes, he may bring a sacrificial animal with him, and if he wishes, he may buy a goat or something similar from Makkah Mukarramah.

Hazrat Shurayh and Hazrat Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them) performed Qiran and did not send Hadi.

Hazrat Hakam says that I do not like Qiran except that there is a sacrificial animal with it, and for the one performing Tamattu', a goat is sufficient.

Hazrat Salih Al-Ukli narrates that I asked Hazrat Sha’bi about Hajj Qiran. He said, "It is good, and whichever is available among them." I asked him about Tamattu’. He said, "It is good, and whichever is available among them." I asked about performing Hajj alone. He said, "It is good." I asked, "Which one do you prefer?" He replied, "Performing Hajj alone (without combining it with Umrah)."

Ibrahim says that for both Qiran and Tamattu', one goat is sufficient; it should be purchased from Makkah Mukarramah.

Hazrat Ibn Sirin says that among all, I prefer that when a person who recites the Qur'an drives a sacrificial animal (Hadi), he should enter into Ihram, and if he does not drive a Hadi, then nothing is preferable.

Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked whether Qiran can be performed without Hady (sacrificial animal)? He replied, "I have not seen anyone doing so."

Hazrat Aswad performed Hajj Qiran and purchased the sacrificial animal from Makkah Mukarramah.

Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair disliked performing Qiran Hajj without a sacrificial animal.

It is also narrated in the same manner from Hazrat Mujahid.
