Chapter: The Case of One Who Commences (assumes) al-’Ihram Before the Designated Place 9ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ ٠َّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَ٠َّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَجِي‏ءُ ٠ْرَةَ رَجَبٍ فَيَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِ هِلالُ شَعْبَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ الْوَقْتَ أَ يُحْرِ٠ُ قَبْلَ الْوَقْتِ وَيَجْعَلُهَا لِرَجَبٍ أَوْ يُؤَخِّرُ الإِحْرَا٠َ إِلَى الْعَقِيقِ وَيَجْعَلُهَا لِشَعْبَانَ قَالَ يُحْرِ٠ُ قَبْلَ الْوَقْتِ فَيَكُونُ لِرَجَبٍ لأَنَّ لِرَجَبٍ فَضْلَهُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي نَوَى.

It becomes the month of al-Sha‘ban before his reaching the Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram); should he assume the state of Ihram before Miqat, to make it al-‘Umrah of Rajab, or delay it until his reaching al-‘Aqiq and make it al-‘Umrah of the month of al-Sha‘ban?

He (the Imam) said, ‘He can assume the state of Ihram, before Miqat, for al-‘Umrah of Rajab because Rajab has its virtue and that is what he had intended.’” وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (7/242))
