The ruling on one who performed 'Umrah and did not exit the state of ihram, and added Hajj to his 'Umrah!!

Question : The questioner says: I entered Makkah with the intention of Hajj, then I changed it to 'Umrah, and I completed the acts of 'Umrah. I did not exit the state of ihram from the 'Umrah, and I resumed the acts of Hajj without exiting the state of ihram from the 'Umrah, and I did not seek a ruling. What is the ruling after four years if the payment of the fidyah (ransom payment) is delayed?

Answer : In truth, this is something that should not have happened. It has now been four years since he did this act and did not ask anyone from the people of knowledge about it. Even if he had asked, he should not have raised the question if he had asked someone he trusted. But this man, it appears to me that the meaning of his statement "I did not exit the state of ihram from the 'Umrah" is that he did not take off his ihram clothes, because he says that he performed the acts of 'Umrah, meaning he shaved, performed sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), and shortened his hair, and remained wearing his ihram clothes, then he entered the state of ihram for Hajj. So we say that this man is a mutamatti' (one combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them), and it is obligatory for him to have a hady (sacrificial animal) which he slaughters, eats from, and gives in charity. If he does not find one, he fasts for three days. But now, the time of Hajj has passed, so he fasts for ten days. Changing the intention is not a problem; rather, this is the best. It is best for one who comes in the months of Hajj and intends Hajj to change it to 'Umrah so that he becomes a mutamatti'.
