Entering the state of ihram for Hajj on the eighth day after 'Umrah in the case of tamattu'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to enter the state of ihram for Hajj as a mutamatti' on the eighth of Dhu al-Hijjah, perform 'Umrah and exit the state of ihram, then recite the talbiyah for Hajj while wearing the ihram clothes, or should he take them off, enter the state of ihram a second time within the Haram, and go to Mina on the Day of Tarwiyah before the Zuhr prayer?

Answer:
There is no objection. If he enters Makkah on the eighth day from his country for 'Umrah, he performs tawaf and sa'y, shortens his hair, and exits the state of ihram. Then, if he wishes, he may enter the state of ihram for Hajj immediately and sit down. If he takes a bath and applies perfume, then enters the state of ihram, that is better. Even if he is already in the state of ihram, there is no harm if he enters the state of ihram immediately. However, it is better for him to take off the clothes, take a bath, and then put them on again. As the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told 'A'ishah when she wanted to enter the state of ihram: "Take a bath and leave the 'Umrah," because she was menstruating and unable to perform 'Umrah, he ordered her to do so. The point is that if he enters on the eighth day, the ninth day, or the night of the ninth as a mutamatti' performing 'Umrah, he performs tawaf and sa'y, shortens his hair, and departs. This is better. Then he recites the talbiyah for Hajj, even if his ihram clothes are on him. However, it is better for him to take a bath and apply perfume for his Hajj. Then he enters the state of ihram immediately, or after an hour, or after two hours on the eighth day, or on the night of 'Arafah, or on the morning of 'Arafah; all of this is permissible, with the praise of Allah and Islam. But the best is for his ihram to be on the eighth day. When he finishes 'Umrah on the eighth day, he should hasten to enter the state of ihram for Hajj, then proceed to Mina. He prays Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha there. This is the matter. This is the sunnah (recommended practice) for which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered in the Farewell Pilgrimage. Yes.
