The Case of One Who During Al-’Umrah Is Involved in Carnal Relations With His Wife and the Expiation Therefor

“About the case of a man for al-Mufradah al- £ Umrah who involves himself in sexual intercourse with his wife in the state of Ihram before performing Tawaf and Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah, he (the Imam) said, ‘He has invalidated his al-‘Umrah. He owes a badanah and he must stay in Makkah until next month, so that he can go to a Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram), assume the state of Ihram and perform al-‘Umrah.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is for Mufradah al-‘Umrah, performs Tawaf around the House as obligatory Tawaf; then involves in sexual intercourse with his wife before Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He (the Imam) said, ‘He has invalidated his al-‘Umrah and owes one badanah. He must stay in Makkah out of the state of Ihram until the month in which he has performed al-‘Umrah passes. Thereafter he must go to one of the Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) designated by the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, for the people of his land and assume the state of Ihram from there to perform al-‘Umrah.’”

“He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, ‘One who brings an animal for offering in al-‘Umrah without al-Hajj must slaughter it before shaving his head.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who drives an animal for offering in al-‘Umrah without al-Hajj must slaughter it before shaving.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who drives an animal for offering in al-‘Umrah, must slaughter it before shaving his head. One who drives an animal for offering, in al-‘Umrah must slaughter it in slaughtering place which is between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah and it is al-Hazwarah.’ I asked him (the Imam) about the place of applying expiation for al-‘Umrah. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is in Makkah, unless he delays it until the time for al-Hajj, when it is in Mina’; but applying it earlier is more virtuous and more beloved to me.’”
