The ruling on the sacrificial animal for one who performs 'Umrah and then enters the state of ihram for Hajj on behalf of his brother

Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. I performed Hajj for myself and for my father last year, and this year I am performing Hajj on behalf of my deceased brother. I performed 'Umrah for myself, then came out of the state of ihram, and today I entered the state of ihram for Hajj on behalf of my brother. Is the sacrificial animal obligatory on me? Please provide the ruling. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, the sacrificial animal is obligatory on you because you are performing tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them). You are performing tamattu' with the 'Umrah and the Hajj, even if the 'Umrah is for you and the Hajj is for someone else. Each person who performs 'Umrah and Hajj is performing tamattu', whether he performed both for himself or for someone else, or one for himself and the other for someone else, or the 'Umrah for one person and the Hajj for another. In every case, he is performing tamattu', and the sacrificial animal is obligatory on him. Yes.
