Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: He performed Hajj as an ifrad (performing Hajj alone) and instructed his family to slaughter an udhiyah (the 'Id sacrifice). Is it better for him to perform Hajj as a tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them) or as an ifrad?
The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: He performed Hajj Ifrad and bequeathed to his family the slaughtering of a sacrifice. Is it better for him to perform Hajj Tamattu' or Ifrad?
The Shaykh:
It is better to perform Hajj Tamattu', but when entering the state of ihram, he should not take any of his hair or nails. If the ten days enter, if he enters ihram during the ten days, after the entry of the ten days, he must refrain from taking hair or nails until the sacrifice is slaughtered. No, if he exits the state of ihram from the 'Umrah, there is no harm in shortening his hair, because this is a ritual in which one shortens the hair, even if he intends to sacrifice. As for taking nails, taking pubic hair, and armpit hair, he must hold back from these until the sacrifice is slaughtered. Yes.
