Tamattu’ in Hajj means entering into ihraam for `Umrah during the months of Hajj, completing it and then exiting the state of ihraam before subsequently entering ihraam for Hajj during the same year. After arriving at Makkah during the months of Hajj and completing ‘Umrah, pilgrims may exit their Ihraam and enjoy all that which is lawful until the commencement of the Hajj rites. In this hadeeth, Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that he travelled with the Prophet ﷺin his journey to perform the farewell Hajj in the 10th year of Hijrah. He explained that they assumed their Ihraam and recited the Talibyah for Hajj but later the Prophet ﷺordered them to break their Ihraam and make it for ‘Umrah only and enter Ihraam again for Hajj when its rites begin. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) complied to his order and acted upon it. The reports in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and Saheeh Muslim clarifies that he ﷺordered those who did not drive the Hady with them in this journey to finish their Ihraam after performing the rites of ‘Umrah, namely Tawaaf round the Ka’bah and brisk walking between al-Safaa and Marwah and cutting or shaving the hair. Then, he ﷺordered them to enter Ihraam for Hajj on the 8th day of Thoo al-Hijjah and complete the rites. By this, the Prophet ﷺdenounced and ended the practices of pre-Islam that did not allow ‘Umrah in the months of Hajj and established the law of Islam that gives people room in the matters of ‘Umrah and Hajj. This hadeeth highlights the obedience of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) to the Prophet ﷺ..
