Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says that some people say that ifrad is the best of the types of Hajj. What is the basis for that?
The Shaykh:
Al-Farra.
The questioner:
The best of the types of Hajj.
The Shaykh:
I do not know this statement. It is well known that tamattu' is the best of the types of Hajj, followed by qiran, and then ifrad. Perhaps this statement exists because some people narrate or hold that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the state of ihram as an ifrad. The Messenger did not enter the state of ihram as an ifrad; he entered it as a qarin. However, the ifrad is confused with the qarin because the actions are the same. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
