Chapter on the Time Which, if a Person Reaches it, They Are Considered to Have Performed Tamattu‘

Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id narrated from Hammad, from Muhammad ibn Maymun, who said: Imam Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام arrived performing tamattu‘ on the night of Arafah. He performed tawaf, exited ihram, approached one of his servant women, then entered ihram for Hajj and proceeded [to Mina].

It is narrated from Abu Basir, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "A woman performing tamattu‘ begins menstruating before she performs tawaf of the Kaaba, and her purification occurs on the night of Arafah. What should she do?" Imam عليه السلام said: "If she knows that she will become pure, perform tawaf of the Kaaba, exit ihram, and join the people in Mina, then she should do so."

Al-Nadr narrated from Shu‘ayb al-‘Aqarqufi, who said: I and Hadid set out until we reached the orchard on the Day of Tarwiyah. I went ahead on a donkey, arrived in Mecca, performed tawaf and sa‘i, exited my ihram from tamattu‘, and entered ihram for Hajj. Hadid arrived later that night. I wrote to Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, seeking guidance regarding his situation. Imam عليه السلام wrote back to me: "Instruct him to perform tawaf, sa‘i, exit his ihram from tamattu‘, then enter ihram for Hajj, join the people in Mina, and ensure he does not spend the night in Mecca."

Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Ri'ab, from Durays al-Kunasi, from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام, who said: I asked him about a man who set out to perform tamattu‘ (Umrah followed by Hajj) but did not reach Mecca until the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr). Imam عليه السلام said: "He should remain in Mecca in his state of ihram, cease reciting the Talbiyah upon entering the Haram, perform tawaf of the Kaaba, perform sa‘i, shave his head, and slaughter his sheep. Then he may return to his family." Imam عليه السلام further said: "This applies to one who made a condition with his Lord عز وجل at the time of ihram, stating that he would exit ihram wherever he was held back. If he did not make such a condition, then he is required to perform both Hajj and Umrah in the following year."
