A Comparison Between Ifrad, Tamattu', and Qiran
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Regarding the rites of Ifrad, Tamattu', and Qiran, are they equal in reward? And is it obligatory for the pilgrim or the one performing 'Umrah to adopt one of them?
Answer:
It is not obligatory to adopt one of them unless he makes a vow. If he vows Tamattu' or vows Qiran, then it is obligatory. But if he does not make a vow, he has the choice: if he wishes, he enters the state of ihram as a Mutamatti'; if he wishes, he enters the state of ihram as a Qarin; and if he wishes, he enters the state of ihram as a Mufrid. So he has the choice between these rites, and the best of them is Tamattu', followed by Qiran. Yes.
