What is the sufficient time for tamattu'? Sometimes we exit our ihram on the morning of the eighth day, then we enter ihram for Hajj on the same day.

The questioner : What is the sufficient time for tamattu'? Sometimes we exit our ihram on the morning of the eighth day, then we enter ihram for Hajj on the same day. I ask for clarification.

The Shaykh : Yes. If a person arrives in Makkah while intending tamattu', and he is able to separate between the Hajj and the 'Umrah, even by one hour, then he is performing tamattu'. However, if the time for Hajj has entered, for example if he arrives in Makkah after the afternoon of the eighth day, then the time for tamattu' has ended. Why? Because the time for Hajj has entered. Allah the Mighty and Majestic says: What is it? . This indicates that there is a distance and a time between them. This person has arrived in Makkah while the people in Mina are in the state of ihram for Hajj. So we say: If you arrive late, then intend to perform Hajj alone (ifrad). And if you wish to have both Hajj and 'Umrah, then intend to perform them together (qiran) and say: Labbaik 'Umrah and Hajj. Yes.
