Tamattu' and Ifrad for One Who Performed 'Umrah in Shawwal

The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you. I am from the lands of Sudan, and my place of residence is the district. I performed 'Umrah in Shawwal, and I want to perform Hajj this year.

The Shaykh:
End.

The questioner:
I am from the lands of Sudan, and my permanent place of residence is Riyadh. I performed 'Umrah in Shawwal, and I will perform Hajj this year, if Allah wills. Is tamattu' obligatory for me, or can I perform ifrad for the Hajj?

The Shaykh:
If you performed 'Umrah in the months of Hajj and then performed Hajj, you are a mutamatti' (one performing tamattu'), unless you returned to your home country between the 'Umrah and the Hajj. If you returned to your home country between the 'Umrah and the Hajj, then you are a mufrid (one performing ifrad) for the Hajj. As for if you performed 'Umrah, traveled to a place other than your home country, then returned and performed Hajj, you are a mutamatti'. Yes.
