Does entering ihram for 'Umrah with the intention of tamattu' obligate Hajj?

Question : That is, a man enters ihram for 'Umrah intending to combine it with Hajj, and after performing the 'Umrah, he wants to leave Hajj. Is that permissible for him? Or do we say that his entering ihram for 'Umrah with the intention of tamattu' obligates him to perform Hajj?

Answer : The first option: it is not obligatory for him unless Hajj is an individual obligation. In that case, he must perform Hajj because he is able to do so. Even if he says... because this is not an opinion; it is a statement of what is in his intention. So if he cancels the intention, there is no blame on him.
