Is it permissible for one performing tamattu' to perform 'Umrah, go to al-Ta'if, and return on the eighth day in the state of ihram for Hajj?

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

The questioner : Thank you.

The Shaykh : Welcome.

The questioner : I say, Shaykh, may you live long, we go to al-Ta'if, may you live long, we perform 'Umrah, may you live long, and we return to al-Ta'if, then we perform Hajj alone. Is that permissible, Shaykh? I mean, is it permissible for us to leave Makkah after we perform 'Umrah?

The Shaykh : Yes, there is no blame on you. You leave Makkah and stay in al-Ta'if. I say there is no blame on you leaving Makkah and staying in al-Ta'if. If it is the eighth day, you enter the state of ihram for Hajj from al-Ta'if.

The questioner : There is no blame. Okay, does that contradict tamattu' or not?

The Shaykh : No, the tamattu' remains. The tamattu' remains, and the sacrificial animal is upon you.

The questioner : As for it, as for it being a gift in this case. Is the sacrificial animal upon us?

The Shaykh : Yes, because you are performing tamattu'.

The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, does leaving not invalidate the tamattu'?

The Shaykh : Leaving invalidates the tamattu' if you go to your home country. If you return to your home country and then come back from your home country to Makkah for a standalone Hajj, the tamattu' is broken.

The questioner : Okay, my turn.

The Shaykh : If you go to al-Ta'if or to Jeddah, the tamattu' remains.

The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, if we intend ifrad, meaning we perform 'Umrah alone and Hajj alone, we intend ifrad?

The Shaykh : It does not happen, it does not happen. As long as you intend to perform Hajj in your year, you are performing tamattu'.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Do you understand or not? If you intend 'Umrah and Hajj in this year, and the 'Umrah is in the months of Hajj, you are performing tamattu'.

The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, if, if, if it is ifrad. We do not perform 'Umrah, we go and sit in al-Ta'if until the eighth day comes, then we go to Makkah.

The Shaykh : I mean, I do not know what about the 'Umrah.

The questioner : Without knowing about the 'Umrah, without knowing about the 'Umrah, it will be ifrad only.

The Shaykh : You came with an 'Umrah before this, meaning you did not come with an 'Umrah from Ramadan, but you went to al-Ta'if, and when the time for Hajj approached, you entered the state of ihram for Hajj. You will be performing ifrad.

The questioner : Useful, but if it is in the months of Hajj, I am considered to be performing tamattu'.

The Shaykh : Hmm?

The questioner : If it is in the months of Hajj, if you perform 'Umrah in the months of Hajj, I am considered to be performing tamattu'.

The Shaykh : If you enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah in the months of Hajj and you have intended Hajj this year, you are performing tamattu', even if you go up to al-Ta'if.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Did you not return to your home country?

The questioner : If you return to the municipality, a fidyah is upon him.

The Shaykh : If you return to your home country and then come back from your home country in the state of ihram for Hajj alone, you are not performing tamattu', and no sacrificial animal is upon you.

The questioner : And upon him, and upon him, a fidyah is more likely.

The Shaykh : Assist you.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Do you know, good or not?

The questioner : Except immediately, okay, peace be upon you.
