Are there proofs for the obligation of tamattu' in Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the Hafiz Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in his book *Zad al-Ma'ad* fourteen proofs for the obligation of tamattu' in Hajj, and this has been difficult for me to understand.

Answer:
Yes, it is Imam Ibn al-Qayyim who holds the stronger opinion that tamattu'—which is converting Hajj into 'Umrah—is an obligatory, continuous duty. However, the majority of scholars hold that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory. Some scholars prohibit converting Hajj into 'Umrah, claiming that this is specific to the Companions. This is an error; this opinion is wrong. It is not specific to them, nor is it obligatory; rather, it is recommended. Yes.
