He wants to perform Hajj as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed it in the Farewell Pilgrimage, as a mutamatti', and he resides in Dammam, so what do you say to him?

The questioner:
Our brother's message is entirely about Hajj, and the summary of it is that he wants to perform Hajj as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed it in the Farewell Pilgrimage, as a mutamatti', and he was residing in Dammam when he wrote the message, so what do you say to him, our Shaykh? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj as a qarin, combining 'Umrah and Hajj, because he had brought the sacrificial animals with him from Madinah. Whoever brings the sacrificial animals from outside the Haram must combine Hajj and 'Umrah, or enter the state of ihram for Hajj alone. Tamattu' is specific to those who did not bring the sacrificial animals. Tamattu' means entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah from the miqat, and when he completes it upon arriving in Makkah, he exits the state of ihram. Then, when the time for Hajj comes, he enters the state of ihram for Hajj from his residence in Makkah. This is the mutamatti' who performed 'Umrah separately and performed Hajj separately in the same year, so he must pay the fidyah. All right.
As for the qarin, he is the one who enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah and Hajj together with a single intention from the miqat, and remains in his state of ihram until he slaughters his sacrificial animal on the Day of Sacrifice. In his case, 'Umrah is included in Hajj, and he must pay the fidyah for combining the two rites. Tamattu' is the best of the options because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded his Companions who did not bring the sacrificial animals to do so, and he expressed his wish to be with them in that. He said, "If I had known in advance what I know now, I would not have brought the sacrificial animals, and I would have made it an 'Umrah." In a narration, he said, "I would have exited the state of ihram with you and made it an 'Umrah." This is evidence that tamattu' is the best, but it is not the way the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the state of ihram, because the Messenger entered the state of ihram as a qarin because of the sacrificial animals, because of bringing the sacrificial animals.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. Then what does he do after that, Shaykh Salih? Let us suppose he entered the state of ihram as a mutamatti', so he entered the state of ihram from the miqat, and performed the 'Umrah, then

The Shaykh:
then he enters the state of ihram for Hajj on the Day of Tarwiyah.

The presenter:
All right.

The Shaykh:
On the Day of 'Arafah, he goes out for Hajj, and performs the rites, including standing at 'Arafah, staying overnight at Muzdalifah, stoning the pillars, staying overnight in Mina during the days of Tashriq, stoning the pillars, and the farewell circumambulation at the end.
