The Ruling on Changing 'Umrah to Tamattu'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Allah, this is a man who performed Hajj and at the miqat he called out for both Hajj and 'Umrah, then afterwards he decided to perform them separately,

The Shaykh:
not making his 'Umrah long; he performs tawaf, prays, and shortens his hair, thus completing the tamattu'.

The questioner:
He does not want to perform witr; he does not want to.

The Shaykh:
This is the best; he has no option but tamattu'.

The questioner:
He cannot change his intention.

The Shaykh:
So the Sunnah is that he keeps it as 'Umrah.

The presenter:
What Allah willed of your work. A man has already performed the obligatory Hajj, and he has a worker who has not performed Hajj before. So, if he gives him some money so that he can perform the obligatory Hajj,

The Shaykh:
If you ask, may Allah reward you with good.

The presenter:
Or if he performs Hajj on his behalf as a voluntary act, is it better for him to perform it on his behalf as a voluntary act?

The Shaykh:
It is all good. If he performs it with his own money, Hajj has a great status. And if he helps, if you allow the Muslim, and Allah, regarding the servant, what is there in paying for his brother?

The presenter:
The transitive action is valid.

The Shaykh:
It is all good, whether he helps him or performs Hajj on his behalf, it is all good, if Allah wills.
