Al-Mabtulah (Separate, without al-Hajj) al-Umrah During the Months of al-Hajj

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that there is no offense in performing al-‘Umrah al- Mufradah (without al-Hajj) during the months of al-Hajj and returning home.”

Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.

2. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad, from al-Hassan ibn Ali, from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not harmful to perform al-‘Umrah al-Mufradah in the months of al-Hajj and thereafter to return to one’s family, if one so desires.’”

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Ibrahim ibn ‘Umar al-Yemaniy who has said the following: “Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about a man who travels in the months of al-Hajj for al-‘Umrah, then returns to his town. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful. If he performs al-Hajj in that year he is not required to offer animal offering. Al-Husayn ibn Ali, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, left before the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah) for Iraq and he had entered Makkah for al-‘Umrah.’” NOTE: (Fatwa best explains Hadith 2-3 of this Chapter.)

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Isma‘il ibn Marrar from Yunus from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.), ‘What is the difference between al-‘Umrah of al-Tamattu‘ and separate al-‘Umrah?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Al-Tamattu’ al-‘Umrah is linked with al-Hajj. In a separate al-‘Umrah, one, after completing its acts, is free to go wherever he likes. Al- Husayn (a.s.) performed separate al-‘Umrah in Dhu al-Hijjah, then he left on the day of al-Tarwiyah (8th of Dhu al-Hijjah) for Iraq when people were leaving for Mina. There is no offense in performing al-‘Umrah in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah if one does not want to perform al-Hajj.’”
