2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following:

“I once asked abu al-Hassan , about a man who is for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous). He comes and completes his Mut‘ah, then he for a certain work goes to al-Madinah or to Dhat ‘Irq or to a certain other place. He (the Imam) said, ‘He returns to Makkah for al-‘Umrah if it is in the months in which Mut‘ah is performed; for every month there is al-‘Umrah and he is bound with al-Hajj.’ I then asked, ‘What can happen if he enters in the month in which he left?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘My father , was residing here and he once went to meet certain ones of these people. When he returned and reached Dhat ‘Irq he assumed the state of Ihram for al-Hajj. He entered in the state of Ihram for al-Hajj.’”
