Authentic hadithUpdated on 24 September 2026 at 12:34 AM
📖 1 min readعن عمران بن حصين رضي الله عنهما قال: «أُنْزِلَت آيَةُ المُتْعَةِ في كتاب اللَّه تعالى ، فَفَعَلْنَاهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ، وَلَم يَنْزِلْ قُرْآنٌ يُحَرِّمُهَا، وَلَم يَنْهَ عَنهَا حَتَّى مات، قال رجل بِرَأْيِهِ مَا شَاءَ»، قال البخاري: «يقال إنه عمر».
وفي رواية: « نَزَلَت آيَةُ المُتْعَةِ -يَعْنِي مُتْعَةَ الحَجِّ- وَأَمَرَنا بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ، ثُمَّ لَم تَنْزِل آيَةٌ تَنْسَخُ آيَةَ مُتْعَةِ الْحَجِّ، وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى مَاتَ». ولهما بمعناه.
‘Imrān ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) says that Hajj Tamattu‘ was laid down in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. In the Qur'an, Allah, the Almighty, says: {And whosoever performs the 'Umrah in the months of Hajj, before (performing) the Hajj, he must slaughter a Hady such as he can afford} [Sūrat al-Baqarah: 196]. As for its legislation in the Sunnah, this is represented by the Prophet's performance and approval of this act, whereas no Qur'anic verses were revealed to prohibit it, nor did the Prophet forbade it later, till he died. So, ‘Imrān wonders: How can anybody prohibit it after that! By this, he refers to ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb, who prohibited Hajj Tamattu‘, based on his own reasoning, aimed at boosts the pilgrims' numbers throughout the year. If a pilgrim performs ‘Umrah along with Hajj, he or she will only come during the season of Hajj. So, ‘Umar's ban was not meant as prohibition or abandonment of the application of the Qur'an and Sunnah in this respect; rather, it was a temporary ban for the public interest.
