ifrad. If we say that one who has a sacrificial animal with him does not exit the state of consecration despite performing tamattuʿ, this becomes a fourth rite for which there is no precedent in the sunnah: that he should be performing tamattuʿ yet not exit the state of consecration between Umrah and Hajj. There is nothing analogous to this. Thus, his statement, “has no sacrificial animal with him,” is based on a weak view.
His statement, “and he exits the state of consecration,” means from his Umrah; consequently, everything becomes lawful for him, including relations with women.
His statement, “Otherwise, he exits the state of consecration when he performs Hajj”: the word “otherwise” includes three cases: that he is performing ifrad, qiran, or tamattuʿ while having brought a sacrificial animal—according to the view that regards this case as valid. He exits the state of consecration when he performs Hajj; that is, when the time for exiting the state of consecration during Hajj arrives, since he cannot exit it beforehand, until the sacrificial animal reaches its place of sacrifice.
His statement, “When the one performing tamattuʿ begins the circumambulation, he stops reciting the talbiyah,” is because he has begun the intended pillar of the rite. The talbiyah is recited only before reaching what is intended; once he has reached it, there is no further need for the talbiyah. Thus, when he begins the circumambulation, he stops reciting the talbiyah and occupies himself with the remembrances prescribed for circumambulation. The general wording, “the one performing tamattuʿ,” includes one performing tamattuʿ who has brought a sacrificial animal with him.
It was also said that one performing tamattuʿ stops reciting the talbiyah upon entering the boundaries of the Sacred Precinct, because the Sacred Precinct is his destination and he has reached it.
And it was said: when he sees the House. (1)
