Q
What are the different intentions one can have when assuming Ihram for Hajj or Umra?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) sent me to some people in Yemen and when I returned, I found him at Al-Batha. He
asked me, “With what intention have you assumed Ihram (i.e. for Hajj or for Umra or for both?”) I
replied, “I have assumed Ihram with an intention like that of the Prophet.” He asked, “Have you a
Hadi with you?” I replied in the negative. He ordered me to perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba and
between Safa and Marwa and then to finish my Ihram. I did so and went to a woman from my tribe
who combed my hair or washed my head. Then, when `Umar came (i.e. became Caliph) he said, “If
we follow Allah’s Book, it orders us to complete Hajj and Umra; as Allah says: “Perform the Hajj and
Umra for Allah.” (2.196). And if we follow the tradition of the Prophet (ﷺ) who did not finish his Ihram
till he sacrificed his Hadi.”
