Note 1
(1) The statement: "It is not lawful to carry weapons"—This prohibition applies unless there is a need, as evidenced by the Prophet’s (ﷺ) entry during the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah and the Conquest of Makkah with arms. This is the view of the majority, including Shafi‘i. This is mentioned in (Al-Mirqah).

(۱)قوله: لا يحل لأحدكم أن يحل السلاح بمكة: قال النووي: هذا النهي إذا لم تكن حاجة، فإن كانت جاز هذا مذهبنا ومذهب جماهير العلماء وحجة الجمهور دخول النبي ﷺ عام عمرة القضاء بما شرطه من السلاح في القراب، ودخوله عام الفتح متأهبا للقتال. كذا في «المرقاة».
