The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, I did not understand the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And whoever combines the 'Umrah with the Hajj"[Al-Baqarah 2:196]. What is the meaning of this verse, and does it refer to the 'Umrah or the Hajj? Where does the correct understanding come from?
The Shaykh:
How many procedures do we have today? So this topic, meaning, we are repeating it from the beginning. The meaning of the verse is that the one who enters the state of ihram for the 'Umrah intending to combine it with the Hajj, then arrives in Makkah, performs the tawaf, and shortens his hair or shaves his head, and exits the state of ihram, then enters the state of ihram for the Hajj on the Day of Tarwiyah. This is the one who combines them. It is obligatory upon him in the religion. This is the meaning of His saying: "Whoever combines"[Al-Baqarah 2:196], meaning he performed an independent 'Umrah and an independent Hajj in one year and in one journey. This is the one who combines them. Yes. Hmm?
The questioner:
So Allah gave [permission] in the months of Hajj, and he returned to his home.
The Shaykh:
He performed the 'Umrah in the months of Hajj and returned to his country, then returned for the Hajj. Would he be considered one who performs the Hajj alone? Because the 'Umrah was separated from the Hajj by his return to his country. He performed the 'Umrah in one month and the Hajj in another month. He is not one who combines them; he is one who performs the Hajj alone. Is there no fidyah (ransom payment) upon him? Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, I did not understand the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And whoever combines the 'Umrah with the Hajj"
