have assumed Ihram with the same intention as that of the Prophet (ﷺ) .” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “You have
done well! Go and perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba and between Safa and Marwa.” Then I went to one
of the women of Bani Qais and she took out lice from my head. Later, I assumed the Ihram for Hajj.

said, “If we take (follow) the Holy Book, then it orders us to complete Hajj and `Umra (Hajj-at-
Tamattu`) and if we follow the tradition of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) did not finish his
lhram till the Hadi had reached its destination (had been slaughtered). (i.e. Hajj-al-Qiran). (See Hadith
