The ruling on performing Hajj alone to save the cost of the sacrificial animal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, if I want to perform Hajj alone to save the cost of the sacrificial animal, is the Hajj valid?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
If I want to perform Hajj alone to save the cost of the sacrificial animal, is the Hajj valid?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is valid. The one who wants to enter the state of ihram is given the choice between three types of ihram: either tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them), either qiran (combining 'Umrah and Hajj in one ihram), or ifrad (performing Hajj alone). In all these types, the Companions entered ihram with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Some of them entered ihram as a mutamatti', some as a qarin, and some as a mufrid. So all the types of the Sunnah are permissible. But if he has not previously performed 'Umrah, the 'Umrah remains a debt in his account, an 'Umrah of Islam. Yes.
