to exit the state of Ihram and slaughter his sacrificial animal, and it is recommended to slaughter it at al-Marwah. The words of al-Khiraqi allow for this due to their generality. Our argument is what we mentioned from the hadith of Ibn Umar. Aisha narrated, saying: "We went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for the Farewell Pilgrimage, and I entered into Ihram for Umrah, and I had not brought the sacrificial animal with me." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever has a sacrificial animal with him, let him enter into Ihram for Hajj with his Umrah, then he shall not exit the state of Ihram until he exits from both of them together" (7). From Hafsah, she said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is the matter with the people; they have exited the state of Ihram from Umrah, but you have not exited (8) from your Umrah?" He replied: "I have matted my hair and garlanded my sacrificial animal, so I will not exit the state of Ihram until I slaughter [the animal]." Agreed upon (9). The hadiths regarding this are numerous (10). There is a third narration from Ahmad concerning someone who comes as a Mutamatti' (performing Tamattu') during the months of Hajj and has brought a sacrificial animal; he said: "If he enters [Makkah] during the ten [days of Dhu al-Hijjah], he shall not [slaughter the sacrificial animal until] (11) he slaughters it on the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr). If he arrives before the ten [days], he [may] slaughter the sacrificial animal." This indicates that the Mutamatti', if he arrives before the ten [days], may exit the state of Ihram even if he has a sacrificial animal with him, and if he arrives during the ten [days], he does not exit. This is the opinion of Ata', and it was narrated by Hanbal in "al-Manasik". He said regarding (12) someone who mats or braids his hair: He (13) is in the position of one who has brought the sacrificial animal, due to the hadith of Hafsah. The first narration is more appropriate, due to the sound and explicit hadith it contains, and it is more deserving of being followed.
