Some of the ‘Ulamaa’ said:
The Amr after the prohibition (Hazhr) is one of Al-Ibaahah (permissibility) and that is like what has come in the Qawl of Allah Ta’Aalaa:
But when you come out of Ihraam, then hunt (Al-Maa’idah 2).
Which followed His Qawl (swt):
O you who have believed do not kill game while you are in the state of Ihraam (Al-Maa’idah 95).
And so the Shaari’ (Legislator) made the killing of game Haraam for the one performing Hajj whilst he is in the state of Ihraam and then commanded in another Aayah to hunt after coming out of the state of Ihraam of the Hajj. Consequently, this command following the prohibition is considered by some of the ‘Ulamaa to indicate Ibaahah (permissibility).
However, the command following the Hazhr (prohibition) does not always indicate permissibility as Allah (swt) said to the Mushrikeen (polytheists):
And when the sacred months have passed then kill the polytheists wherever you find them (At-Taubah 5).
Had the Amr after the prohibition meant permissibility then the killing of the Mushrikeen would not have been obligatory in accordance to the dictates of this text. The correct view is that the command to do an action after its prohibition is indicative of the lifting of the prohibition and so the Hukm of the action returns to what it had been before the prohibition.
Hunting had been Mubaah before the Tahreem (prohibition) due to the Hajj, then when the command came with it after the passing of the reason of the prohibition, the action returned back to its original permissibility.
And fighting in other than the sacred months had been an obligation upon the Muslims. So when it was forbidden in the sacred months it became Haraam and then the command came to fight after the end of the sacred months i.e. after the passing of the reason. The Hukm therefore returned to what it had been before the prohibition which is the obligation to fight the Mushrikeen. Making effort in search of Rizq was Mandoob before the call for the Jumu’ah prayer and then it was prohibited with the ‘Illah of it distracting from the Jumu’ah prayer. Then when the command came to do it after the performance of the Jumu’ah prayer, it returned to being recommended, due to the disappearance of the ‘Illah for the sake of which it was made Haraam.
