The Best Types of Pilgrimage for One Who Has Performed Hajj More Than Once

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
O our Shaykh, a questioner says: What is the best type of pilgrimage for one who has performed Hajj more than once?

Answer:
The best type of pilgrimage is tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them), because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded his Companions who had not brought the sacrificial animal from among them to make it an 'Umrah and to perform tamattu' with it until Hajj. He expressed his wish to do so, had it not been for the sacrificial animal he had brought from Makkah, which indicates that tamattu' is the best. The reason he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained in the state of qiran (combining 'Umrah and Hajj in one ihram) was that he had brought the sacrificial animal from Makkah. The one who brings the sacrificial animal from the non-sacred area remains in his state of ihram, as Allah the Exalted said:
And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter.وَلَا تَحْلِقُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْيُ مَحِلَّهُ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
