Narrated `Aisha:

I used to make the garlands for (the Hadis of) the Prophet (ﷺ) and he would garland the sheep (with them) and would stay with his family as a non-Muhrim.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَفْتِلُ الْقَلاَئِدَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَيُقَلِّدُ الْغَنَمَ، وَيُقِيمُ فِي أَهْلِهِ حَلاَلاً‏.‏

Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has venerated the Sacred House. His Prophet ﷺas well has done likewise. He ﷺhas practically demonstrated as a Sunnah act that when a person himself does not go to the Haram to perform Hajj, then he should send a sacrificial animal to venerate the place and be more accommodative towards the poor of Makkah. In this hadeeth, the Mother of the Believers, ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reports that she used to make garlands for the Prophet ﷺ. Al-Qalaaid (garlands): they are collars that are placed aaround the necks of the sacrificial animals – that is made by interlacing some of its strings with others. The Prophet ﷺwould place these garlands and collars aaround the necks of the sheep as he would place them aaround the necks of other animals such as the camels and cows, and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺwould send them to the Sacred Vicinity (a-Haram), while he would remain with his family in Al-Madeenah without entering into the state of Ihraam. He ﷺwould not make upon himself anything prohibited among the prohibited things of Ihraam such as applying perfume or engaging in sexual intercourse with his wives, or anything prohibited upon the one assuming the state of Ihraam. This hadeeth shows the legality of garlanding the sheep from the sacrificial animals. It highlights the legality of sending the sacrificial animal to the Haram by who is unable to go to perform Hajj or ‘Umrah..
