The Intention of Tamattu' or Qiran on the Day of 'Arafah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible for the pilgrim to intend tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them) or qiran (combining 'Umrah and Hajj in one ihram) on the Day of 'Arafah?

Answer:
Yes, if there is sufficient time, he can go perform 'Umrah, come back, and stand at 'Arafah. He can enter the state of ihram as a mutamatti' (one performing tamattu'), and there is no harm in that. However, if time is tight and he cannot manage it, then no, he cannot. He can enter the state of ihram as a qarin (one performing qiran). He can enter the state of ihram as a qarin, even at the last moment of the Day of 'Arafah. He enters the state of ihram as a qarin for both Hajj and 'Umrah, intends both Hajj and 'Umrah, performs one tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) for both, one sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) for both, and offers a fidyah (ransom payment) by slaughtering the sacrifice for qiran. As for tamattu', that is with ample time. With tight time, he does not perform tamattu', but rather enters the state of ihram either as a qarin or as a mufrid (one performing Hajj alone). Yes.
