‘Aishah said: “We went out with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم when there were five days left of Dhul-Qa’dah, with no intention other than to perform Hajj. When we were close to Makkah, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم commanded those who did not have a HadI (sacrificial animal) with them to exit Ihram after circumambulating the House.” (Sahih)
