The Best in the Rites of Pilgrimage: Tamattu' or Qiran
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: What is the stronger position regarding the best of the rites of Hajj? Is it tamattu' or qiran?
Answer:
There is no doubt that tamattu' is greater. Tamattu' is better because the 'Umrah is performed separately and the Hajj is performed separately, with a break between them. As for qiran, the 'Umrah is included in the acts of Hajj. It is a type of tamattu', but tamattu' by performing the 'Umrah first and then entering the state of ihram for Hajj is better. Yes.
