Is it permissible for a person to perform Hajj as a qiran pilgrim if he has not brought the sacrificial animal?

Question : I think that the one who performs Hajj as a qiran pilgrim, is it permissible for a person to perform Hajj as a qiran pilgrim if he has not brought the Hajj sacrifice?

Answer : Yes, the correct view is that it is valid and permissible to enter the state of ihram as a qiran pilgrim even if he has not brought the sacrificial animal. This is based on the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: "Some of us entered the state of ihram for Hajj, some for 'Umrah, and some for both Hajj and 'Umrah."
