Hajj First, Then 'Umrah for the One Who Chose Ifrad
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I chose the Ifrad type of Hajj. Is it permissible to perform Hajj first, and then perform 'Umrah?
Answer:
The Hajj is valid, but you left off what is best. Entering with 'Umrah, praying, performing sa'y, and shortening the hair is what is best. And if one enters with Hajj and incurs its penalty, there is no blame on him. This is not an 'Umrah, unless he had performed 'Umrah previously, whether in Ramadan or otherwise. This is an 'Umrah after Hajj, because 'Umrah is obligatory once in a lifetime, just as Hajj is. So the one who has not performed 'Umrah previously, or in Ramadan, or otherwise in past years, should vow to perform 'Umrah when he enters Makkah, either before or after Hajj. Yes.
