Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A person has previously performed Hajj as a mutamatti' more than once, and he wants to perform Hajj again. He says, "I want to vary the type of worship and perform Hajj as a mufrid." Is this better for him, especially since it is the easier option?
Answer:
It is always and forever better to perform Hajj as a mutamatti'. It is permissible to perform it as a mufrid, but the superiority of performing it as a mutamatti' remains, even if one has performed Hajj more than once. Performing it as a mutamatti' is always better.
