بَابُ : هَلْ يُحْرِمُ إِذَا قَلَّدَChapter: Should He Enter Ihram When He Has Garlanded His Hadi
Hadith 2794
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا كَانُوا حَاضِرِينَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، بَعَثَ بِالْهَدْيِ ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَحْرَمَ ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ " .
´It was narrated from Jabir:` That when they were present with the Messenger of Allah in Al-Madinah, he sent the Hadi, and whoever wanted to enter Ihram did so, and whoever did not want to, did not.
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
From this hadith, it is understood that after sending a sacrificial animal (hady) to the Haram, the legal restrictions of ihram do not become obligatory, as this matter is explicitly established from several of the aforementioned ahadith. However, if someone personally wishes to impose these restrictions upon himself, that is his own choice. It is evident that the Shari‘ah, in matters of general permissibility, does not compel anyone to necessarily wear sewn clothes, apply perfume, shave, and so on. Therefore, this narration is not contrary to the previous narrations; rather, it explicitly supports them.
