The ruling on one who performs 'Umrah, then enters the state of ihram for Hajj alone after visiting al-Madinah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: I performed 'Umrah in the early days of Dhu al-Hijjah, then I went to al-Madinah, then I entered the state of ihram for Hajj alone on the sixth of Dhu al-Hijjah.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
I performed 'Umrah in the early days of Dhu al-Hijjah, then I went to al-Madinah, then I entered the state of ihram for Hajj alone on the sixth of Dhu al-Hijjah. Am I in the position of a mutamatti' in terms of the wording, but not in terms of the ruling, meaning that I am not required to offer a sacrifice, or what? Inform us, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
There is scholarly disagreement on this, and the stronger position is that you are in the position of a mutamatti', because you remained in the locations of Hajj and its rituals and did not return to your country; you only moved around the area near Makkah. So, the result is that one like you is in the position of a mutamatti', because you performed 'Umrah and then offered the sacrifice without returning to your family. As for the journey to al-Madinah, the correct view is that it does not serve as an excuse, so you must offer a sacrifice, just as others do. We ask Allah for success for you.
