Minah al-Jalil by al-Dardir · Maliki school
Chapter. If an enemy prevents him (from going forward), or sedition, or unjustified detention, for a Hajj or an Umra, he may desacralize.
Chapter on the impediments of Hajj and Umra arising after entering sacralization.
Bada'i al-Sana'i by al-Kasani · Hanafi school
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) subjected desacralization and the Hajj of the following year to the entire ruling of the one who missed the Hajj, by his words: "Whoever misses the standing at Arafa by night has missed the Hajj; let him desacralize by an Umra, and the Hajj is due from him the following year." Whoever claimed the addition of the sacrificial animal made the whole into a part, which would be abrogation or alteration: he therefore needs a proof. His words "desacralize before the standing" are established, but by the acts of Umra, and it is the one who missed the Hajj. Desacralization by the acts of Umra, for the one who missed the Hajj, is like the hady for the one who is prevented (muhsar); and the tawaf of men (between the two pillars) is not due from the one who missed the Hajj, for it is a tawaf whose obligation became known in the Law after the completion of Hajj, according to the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Whoever pilgrimages to this House, let the last of his visits be the tawaf"; this one, however, has not pilgrimed, so it is not due from him.
