Question:
He says: I want to perform Hajj this year with a group of pilgrims. Which of the types of Hajj should I follow? This is my first time, and I am thirty-five years old.
Answer:
The best is to follow tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them). You enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah first, then when you arrive in Makkah, you perform the rites of 'Umrah and exit the state of ihram. Then, on the eighth day, the Day of Tarwiyah, you enter the state of ihram for Hajj. This is tamattu', and you slaughter a fidyah (a ransom payment). Yes.
