The ruling on entering the state of ihram for Hajj on behalf of a deceased person from Makkah

Question:
A resident of Makkah wants to perform Hajj as a mutamatti' on behalf of a person whom Allah has taken. Should he enter the state of ihram from al-Tan'im or from Rabi'? Does he have to offer a sacrificial animal? Does he have to perform one sa'y or two? It is known that the deceased was from Egypt.

Answer:
'Umrah does not require a sacrificial animal. If he wants to perform 'Umrah on behalf of a relative, he does so. If he wants to perform Hajj on behalf of a relative, and he is in Makkah, he enters the state of ihram for Hajj from Makkah. If he intends to perform Hajj alone (ifrad), he enters the state of ihram for Hajj from Makkah and does not have to offer a sacrificial animal, because the one who performs Hajj alone does not have to offer a sacrificial animal. However, if he intends to combine 'Umrah with Hajj (tamattu') or to combine 'Umrah and Hajj in one state of ihram (qiran), he goes out to al-Tan'im and enters the state of ihram for tamattu' or qiran, and he has to pay the fidyah for tamattu'. Yes.
