As for the corruption of Hajj through intercourse in the vagina, there is no disagreement regarding it. Ibn al-Mundhir said: The scholars have reached a consensus that Hajj is not corrupted by committing any act during the state of ihram except for intercourse. The basis for this is what was narrated from Ibn Umar, that a man asked him, saying: "I have had intercourse with my wife while we were in the state of ihram." He replied: "You have corrupted your Hajj. Depart, you and your wife, with the people, perform the rites that they perform, and exit the state of ihram when they exit it. Then, when the coming year arrives, perform Hajj, both you and your wife, and offer a sacrifice (hady). If you cannot find one, then fast three days during the Hajj and seven when you return." Similar was said by Ibn Abbas and Abdullah ibn Amr (1). We are not aware of anyone in their era who disagreed with them. Their hadith (2) was narrated by al-Athram in his "Sunan" (3), and in the hadith of Ibn Abbas: "They shall separate from where they entered the state of ihram until they complete their Hajj." [Ibn al-Mundhir said: The statement of Ibn Abbas is the highest authority narrated regarding one who has intercourse during his Hajj] (4). This was also narrated from Umar, may Allah be pleased with him. This is the opinion of Ibn al-Musayyab, Ata', al-Nakha'i, al-Thawri, al-Shafi'i, Ishaq, Abu Thawr, and the People of Opinion (Ashab al-Ra'y). There is no distinction between before the Standing (at Arafat) and after it. Abu Hanifa said: If one has intercourse before the Standing, his Hajj is corrupted, but if he has intercourse after it, it is not corrupted, based on the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: "Hajj is Arafat" (5). Also, it is a situation in which one is safe from the Hajj being missed (fawat), so he is safe from corruption, similar to the state of exiting ihram (tahallul).
