Choosing Between Ifrad and Qiran in Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am a Sudanese resident in Jeddah, and my financial situation is moderate, Honorable Shaykh. I would like to perform Hajj next year, if Allah wills, but he says he is confused between ifrad and qiran. Which one should he choose for his ritual?
Answer:
Choose the easier one for you. If qiran is easier for you, it is better, but you will have to pay a fidyah (ransom payment). If you choose ifrad, there is nothing wrong with that, and you do not have to pay a fidyah. Yes.
