“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who travels for al-‘Umrah in the month of Rajab. 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.’”
