The ruling on the claim that Ifrad and Qiran have been abrogated

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
These are questions, Honorable Shaykh, most of them regarding Hajj. The questioner says: What is your view (may Allah preserve you) regarding the one who says that Ifrad and Qiran have been abrogated, and what is the validity of this statement?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Qur'an is not attributed to this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the Companions a choice at the Miqat and upon entering Makkah. He gave them a choice between Hajj alone (Ifrad), between Hajj and 'Umrah (Qiran), and between 'Umrah alone. He performed Hajj as a Qarin (combining Hajj and 'Umrah) (peace and blessings be upon him), and he had sacrificial animals with him. So when he arrived in Makkah, he ordered them to make it an 'Umrah. He ordered those who did not have sacrificial animals and had entered the state of Ihram for Hajj or Qiran to make it an 'Umrah. They exited the state of Ihram, performed Tawaf, performed Sa'y, and shortened their hair in obedience to his command (peace and blessings be upon him). He did not say, "Do not enter the state of Ihram for Hajj ever." Rather, he ordered them to do this if they did not have sacrificial animals, so that it would not be difficult for them to remain in the state of Ihram. So whoever comes obligated to perform Hajj and 'Umrah and has sacrificial animals with him, he remains in his right. And whoever does not have sacrificial animals is ordered to exit the state of Ihram, and to perform Tawaf, Sa'y, and shorten his hair and exit the state of Ihram, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, just as the Prophet ordered his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). And if he is from the people of Makkah or a resident in Makkah, he enters the state of Ihram for Hajj alone on the eighth day.
Or if he is one who came to Makkah in Ramadan, he performed 'Umrah in Ramadan, or he performed it previously and stayed until the time of Hajj, he prefers Hajj alone. And if he prefers to perform Tamattu', he takes an 'Umrah from the state of non-Ihram after Ramadan, and there is no harm in that. And if he takes an 'Umrah after Ramadan, he becomes a Mutamatti'. If he is from the people of Makkah, there is no blood (sacrifice) required of him. And if he is from the non-residents, there is blood (sacrifice) required of him. The blood of Tamattu' is slaughtered on the days of sacrifice. If he is unable, he fasts ten days: three days before 'Arafah, and seven when he returns to his home. Yes, yes.
