Is it required to remove the ihram garments after 'Umrah for one who performed Hajj as a mutamatti'?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a message from the listener Abu al-Harith, a resident of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He sent a long list of questions, saying in the first one: I entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah on the night of the seventh, the eve of the eighth of Dhu al-Hijjah. I arrived in Makkah, performed tawaf, sa'y, and shortened my hair. I completed the rituals of 'Umrah before the Fajr prayer. I did not remove my ihram garments because I did not have any clothes at that time. I also did not perform the ritual bath due to the crowd of people. In the morning, I entered the state of ihram for Hajj from Makkah so that my Hajj would be tamattu'. I went to Mina and stayed there until the ninth day. Then I moved to 'Arafah and stayed there until sunset. Then I returned to Muzdalifah and spent the night there. In the morning, we went out to Mina, where I stoned the pillars and performed sa'y. Then I returned to Mina and stayed there for the three days of Tashriq. I stoned the pillars and fasted for the three days of Tashriq because I was unable to provide the sacrificial animal. This is the obligatory Hajj for me. I have already performed Hajj before and I have some debts. Also, some perfume got on my handkerchief while I was unaware. What is the ruling on my Hajj?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions. As for what you described regarding your actions, that you performed the rituals of 'Umrah completely, but you did not remove your ihram garments, and then you intended to enter the state of ihram for Hajj while still wearing the ihram garments after 'Umrah, this is valid. It is not required for you to remove your garments. The issue is the presence of the intention. As long as you completed the rituals of 'Umrah, you have exited the state of ihram, even if you did not take off the clothes. And your entering the state of ihram for Hajj and intending Hajj is also a valid action, even if you did not perform the ritual bath, because the ritual bath for entering ihram is a recommended practice (sunnah). And what you mentioned about not finding the sacrificial animal and fasting for ten days, this is what is obligatory for you. It is obligatory for you to fast for three days during Hajj and to fast for seven days when you return to your family. Allah the Exalted said:
And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned [home]. Those are ten complete [days].فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
So, everything you mentioned and described regarding your actions is valid, and praise be to Allah, praise be to Allah.
