Question:
The questioner asks: Is there a difference between tamattu' and qiran?
Answer:
Yes, you have asked about this many times. The difference between them is that, in the terminology of the jurists, the one performing tamattu' is the one who enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah, performs tawaf, performs sa'y, shortens his hair, and exits the state of ihram. Then he responds to the call for Hajj at its time on the eighth day. This is the case of the one performing tamattu': he came for 'Umrah and combined it with Hajj after Ramadan, performed tawaf, sa'y, and shortened his hair or shaved his head and exited the state of ihram. This is called one performing tamattu' if he performs Hajj in that year. If he performs Hajj in that year, when the time for Hajj arrives, he responds to the call for Hajj; this is called one performing tamattu'. The one performing qiran is the one who responds to the call for both together, performing both together, entering the state of ihram for both, and remaining in his state of ihram because he has the sacrificial animal, or because he prefers to remain in his state of ihram and does not take the dispensation. This is called one performing qiran. The Companions also called the one performing qiran one performing tamattu'. The one performing qiran who exits the state of ihram is also called one performing tamattu' in the usage of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). However, the well-known usage among scholars is that the one performing tamattu' is the one who performs tawaf, sa'y, shortens his hair, and exits the state of ihram, then responds to the call for Hajj on the eighth day; he is called one performing tamattu'. As for the one who enters the state of ihram for both, for Hajj and 'Umrah together, and remains in his state of ihram until the Day of Sacrifice, this is called one performing qiran. The best in truth is that he becomes one performing tamattu' and does not remain [in the state of ihram]. It is his right that when he enters Makkah, he exits the state of ihram, performs sa'y, and shortens his hair, and does not remain as one performing qiran unless he has the sacrificial animal with him. This is what is prescribed for us. The one performing qiran is also called one performing tamattu', even if he exits the state of ihram; he is called one performing tamattu'. Yes.
