Choosing the Type of Pilgrimage for a Person of Modest Means
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is an Egyptian resident in Riyadh. He says: I want to perform the rites of Hajj this year, so which of the types of Hajj should I adopt, given that I am of modest means?
Answer:
Adopt the easiest one for you; choose the type of Hajj that is easiest for you. If the easiest is tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them), then it is the best. Likewise, qiran (combining 'Umrah and Hajj in one ihram), but in these two types, a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of you: the fidyah for tamattu'. If you cannot find it, you fast for ten days. And if you enter the state of ihram for Hajj only, and you want that to be lighter for you, there is no harm in that. Yes.
