The Best Rites of Hajj for One Who Is Financially Weak
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, regarding the one who wants to perform Hajj this year, if Allah wills, what are the best rites to follow? And if his financial circumstances are very weak, what should he do?
Answer:
It is permissible for him to enter the state of ihram with one of the prescribed rites, and the best of them is tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them). This means he enters ihram for 'Umrah in the months of Hajj, then when he arrives in Makkah, he performs its rites and exits the state of ihram. Then, when the time for Hajj comes on the eighth of Dhu al-Hijjah, the Day of Tarwiyah, he enters ihram for Hajj, and a fidyah (ransom payment) for tamattu' becomes obligatory upon him[Al-Baqarah 2:196]. Or he may enter ihram as a qiran (combining 'Umrah and Hajj in one ihram) with a single intention, so that the 'Umrah is included within the Hajj.
So when he arrives in Makkah, he performs tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) for both, and he remains in his state of ihram from the miqat (the boundary at which ihram is entered) until the Day of 'Eid. He performs one tawaf for both and one sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) for both, and he shortens his hair and slaughters the fidyah as well, just like the one performing tamattu', based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] [Al-Baqarah 2:196]. Qiran is like tamattu', except that he did not separate the 'Umrah and the Hajj by exiting the state of ihram. So the 'Umrah is included in the Hajj, and he has performed two rites in one journey. Or he may enter ihram for Hajj alone (ifrad), and no fidyah is required of him. Yes.

then whoever performs 'umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned [home]. Those are ten complete [days]
