The Difference Between the One Who Performs Hajj Alone, the One Who Combines, and the One Who Combines with a Break, and the Place of Slaughtering the Ransom Payment

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh Salih, may Allah bless you, if you could clarify the one who performs Hajj alone, the one who combines, and the one who combines with a break, what is required of them?

The Shaykh:
The one who combines with a break and the one who combine are required to pay the ransom payment, the ransom payment for combining with a break, unless he is from the residents of the Sacred Mosque. As for the one who came from outside Makkah and wanted to perform 'Umrah and Hajj, whether by combining with a break or by combining, he is required to pay the ransom payment for combining with a break.

The questioner:
And where is the ransom payment slaughtered, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
The ransom payment is slaughtered in Makkah or in Mina, in the Haram, it is slaughtered within the boundaries of the Haram. Yes.
