Types of Ihram for Hajj and 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In this episode, a message was received for the program from al-Zulfi, sent by the listener Musa Ahmad Muhammad, brother Musa. He asks a collection of questions concerning the rulings of Hajj and 'Umrah, among which is this question: If, God willing, with His permission and success, I am at the miqat on the sixth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, should I intend to perform Hajj along with 'Umrah at the miqat? And what should I say? Or should I intend only 'Umrah and perform it, and then on the eighth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, or from Mina, perform Hajj? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. To proceed: Whoever reaches the miqat intending to perform Hajj is given the choice of three types of Hajj. Either he enters the state of ihram for Hajj alone (ifrad) and remains in his state of ihram until he completes the rituals of Hajj and the farewell tawaf. Or he enters the state of ihram for both Hajj and 'Umrah together, which is called qiran. He likewise remains in his state of ihram until he performs the rituals of Hajj on the day of 'Id, so that the 'Umrah is included within the Hajj. However, he must offer a fidyah (sacrificial animal) for the tamattu'. Or he enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah first from the miqat, then performs its rituals when he reaches Makkah and exits the state of ihram. When the day of Muzdalifah, which is the eighth day, arrives, he enters the state of ihram for Hajj from his home, and goes out to Mina, then to 'Arafah, and then to the stoning pillars. This is called tamattu', and it is the best of the types of Hajj, because it combines two types of worship, 'Umrah and Hajj, and separates them by exiting the state of ihram, and performs each type of worship separately. Therefore, it is the best of the types of Hajj.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah reward you.
