(Eighth Chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to shave his head because of lice, and said: Fast for three days, or feed six needy people, giving two mudd to each needy person, or slaughter a goat.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A person in the state of ihram cannot perform nikah, nor can he arrange nikah for someone else, nor can he send a marriage proposal.

Nubaih bin Wahb says: Umar bin Ubaidullah wanted to arrange the marriage of his son (Talha) with the daughter of Shaibah bin Uthman, so he sent a message to Aban bin Uthman, who was at that time the Amir of Hajj. He said: I think this person is also a Bedouin (ignorant of the Shari'ah rulings). The fact is that a Muhrim can neither marry nor arrange a marriage. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this to me from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

Ikrimah bin Khalid says: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), while he was outside Makkah, that a man wants to marry a woman, and now his intention is that he also performs Umrah and Hajj (and then marries while in the state of Ihram). Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You cannot marry her while in the state of Ihram, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade doing so.

Ikrimah reports that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) did not consider there to be any harm in marrying while in the state of Ihram, because he said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself married Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) while in the state of Ihram, and at that time the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was at Sarf near the water. Then, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) completed his Hajj, he returned to that same water, and it was there that the marriage was consummated.

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) while in the state of Ihram, but when he secluded himself with her at the place of Sarif, at that time he (peace and blessings be upon him) was out of Ihram. Later, Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away at the same place of Sarif.

(Third chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that when the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, married Sayyidah Maymunah bint Harith, may Allah be pleased with her, both of them were in the state of Ihram.

Yazid bin Asam narrates that the wife of the Messenger, Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), used to state that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married her, he was in a state of being halal (not in ihram), and likewise, when he had privacy with her, he was also not in a state of ihram. Later, Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) also passed away at the place of Saraf. We buried her in the same shade where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had spent the night with her. I and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) had descended into her grave.

Mawla of the Messenger, Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He says, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) and when he was alone with her, he (peace and blessings be upon him) was lawful, that is, he was not in the state of ihram, and I was the messenger between the two of them.
