Which is better: Qiran or Ifrad for the one who has not brought the sacrificial animal

Question:
This questioner says: You have taught us that Tamattu' is the best of the types of Hajj, so what is better for the one who has not brought the sacrificial animal: Qiran or Ifrad?

Answer:
Tamattu', Tamattu'. For the one who has not brought the sacrificial animal, it is Tamattu'. As for the one who has brought the sacrificial animal, Qiran is better for him; he responds to the call for both Hajj and 'Umrah. If he has a camel to offer as a sacrifice, or a sheep, or a cow, or more, he exits the state of ihram with both Hajj and 'Umrah. This is because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded those who had the sacrificial animal, saying: and he exited the state of ihram with both Hajj and 'Umrah, peace and blessings be upon him. As for the one who has nothing with him, he makes his ihram for 'Umrah only; he performs tawaf, sa'y, shortens his hair, and exits the state of ihram, just as the Companions did by the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). May Allah send blessings upon the Prophet. Yes.
We have repeated this many times; it should be understood. The one who comes to Makkah during the days of Hajj and does not have a sacrificial animal, the Sunnah for him is to enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah only, and to perform tawaf, sa'y, shorten his hair, and exit the state of ihram. Even if he responds to the call for Hajj, or for both Hajj and 'Umrah, he still makes it 'Umrah; he performs tawaf, sa'y, shortens his hair, and makes it 'Umrah. Even if he names it Hajj 'Umrah, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that, peace and blessings be upon him. It should be understood; the future Hajj obligations remain in the heart. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
