Tamattu' for the one who arrives in Makkah on the eighth or ninth day

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second questioner’s question has already been answered by a hadith from Your Eminence, which is his saying: If one arrives in Makkah on the evening of the eighth day or on the ninth day, is it better for him to perform tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them), or is it better for him to perform ifrad (performing Hajj alone)? Since the time for Hajj has entered with the Day of Tarwiyah, is there no time for tamattu'?

Answer:
It is better for him to perform tamattu'. Even if it is the eighth day, or even the morning of the ninth day, he can do so. He circumambulates, walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shortens his hair, then he calls out the talbiyah for Hajj. Praise be to Allah. This is the meaning of the effort. He circumambulates, walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shortens his hair, then he calls out the talbiyah for Hajj. Even if he is not wearing the ihram garments, nothing is forbidden to him other than what is forbidden to others. If it is easy for him to wash and apply perfume after shortening his hair, and then call out the talbiyah for Hajj, that is better. If he does not do so, but rather circumambulates, walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah, shortens his hair, and then calls out the talbiyah for Hajj, that is sufficient. He has achieved tamattu'.
