The questioner:
The difference between the rituals of Hajj, or the rites of Hajj, where one hears about Qiran, Ifrad, and Tamattu', and wants to know the difference between them and which is best for one who has not performed Hajj and for one who has performed it many times.
The Shaykh:
Qiran means entering the state of ihram for both Hajj and 'Umrah together from the miqat, or entering ihram for 'Umrah, then adding Hajj to it before starting the tawaf of 'Umrah, and performing one tawaf and one sa'y for both. It is obligatory for him to slaughter the hady on the Day of Sacrifice or the days following it from the days of Tashriq. This is Qiran, meaning he combined two rites, performed one tawaf and one sa'y for both, and remained in his state of ihram until he exits it by performing the rites of the festival day, such as stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah, shaving the head or shortening the hair, and the tawaf of Ifadah on the day of the festival or the days following it, and the sa'y after the tawaf if he had not performed sa'y after the tawaf of arrival. This is what is summarized in the rite of Qiran.
As for Tamattu', it means entering ihram for 'Umrah, entering ihram for 'Umrah from the miqat, then performing it with tawaf and sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shaving or shortening the hair, then exiting the state of ihram and returning to the state of halal as he was before entering ihram. Then he enters ihram for Hajj in his year, then enters ihram for Hajj in his year when the days of Hajj arrive, on the Day of Tarwiyah or the day before the end of standing at 'Arafah, or before the end of standing at 'Arafah, then he performs the rituals of Hajj. It is obligatory for him to offer the hady if he is not a resident of the Sacred Mosque. So he performed 'Umrah first, then exited from it, then entered ihram for Hajj. He performed 'Umrah separately and performed Hajj separately in one year. This is the one who performs Tamattu'. Yes.
The questioner:
And the one who performs Ifrad.
The Shaykh:
As for the one who performs Ifrad, he is the one who enters ihram for Hajj only from the miqat, and remains in his state of ihram until he performs the rituals of Hajj on the day of the festival. He does not have to pay a fidyah. This is the one who performs Ifrad, who singled out one rite, which is Hajj, and did not intend 'Umrah with Hajj. This is the one who performs Ifrad. Yes.
