Is a pilgrim prevented from reaching the Sacred House while intending Hajj Ifraad or Qiran permitted to exit Ihram and slaughter his offering immediately?
Chapter on What the Muhrim Must Avoid and What is Permissible for Him
Al-Mughni
Book of Hajj
Primary text
In one narration, the pilgrim performing Hajj Ifraad or Qiran is not permitted to exit Ihram or slaughter his offering until the Day of Sacrifice. This is because the offering has both a prescribed time and place. If the required place is unattainable, the time requirement remains obligatory as it is still possible to fulfill. If slaughtering the offering before the Day of Sacrifice is not allowed, then exiting Ihram is also not permitted, based on the evidence from the Quran: "And do not shave your heads until the offering has reached its prescribed place" (Quran 2:196).

The first narration permits exiting Ihram and slaughtering the offering, analogizing it to Umrah because Hajj, which is time-sensitive and risks being missed, is considered more deserving of allowance than Umrah, which never lapses.
