(Book 20, Hadith 99) #35862
Sacrifice and Shaving in Ihram

SUMMARY: People who are unable to reach the House of Allah due to an enemy should sacrifice their animal and shave their head wherever they are detained, and do not need to make up for anything afterwards.

Yahya related to me that Malik said, "Someone whose passage to the House is blocked by an enemy is freed from every restriction of ihram, and should sacrifice his animal and shave his head wherever he has been detained, and there is nothing for him to make up afterwards". Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his companions came out of ihram at al-Hudaybiya they sacrificed their sacrificial animals and shaved their heads, and were freed from all the restrictions of ihram without having done tawaf of the House and without their sacrificial animals reaching the Kaba. There is nothing known about the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ever telling any of his companions, or anybody else that was with him, to make up for anything they had missed or to go back to doing anything they had not finished doing.

Try your best in fulfilling religious obligations
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that when a person is blocked from reaching the House of Allah due to an enemy, they are freed from all restrictions of ihram. They can then sacrifice their animal and shave their head wherever they have been detained without having done tawaf or having the sacrificial animals reach the Kaba. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also never told anyone with him to make up for anything they had missed or go back to doing something they had not finished doing. This teaches us that even if we cannot complete our religious obligations due to external factors beyond our control, we will still be rewarded by God for our efforts as long as we try our best.
