Is it permissible to enter the state of ihram for qiran on the Day of 'Arafah?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: This is a person who arrived at 'Arafah on the Day of 'Arafah and wants to perform qiran. Is that permissible for him? And is there such a thing as restricted qiran?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible to enter the state of ihram for qiran, even on the Day of 'Arafah, as long as the time for standing at 'Arafah remains, even before the Fajr prayer on the night of the festival. It is permissible to enter the state of ihram intending qiran between the Hajj and the 'Umrah, where the 'Umrah is included in the Hajj, and their acts become one. He performs one tawaf for both the Hajj and the 'Umrah, and he shortens his hair once or shaves it once for both the Hajj and the 'Umrah. If he is not from the people of Makkah, a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of him in the case of tamattu', because he combined two paths, so the fidyah becomes obligatory upon him. Thus, qiran is tamattu', in the sense that he combined the Hajj and the 'Umrah in one ihram, and the fidyah becomes obligatory upon him. The work of the one performing qiran does not differ from the work of the one performing ifrad except in the intention, and except in the obligation of the hady (sacrificial animal). This is what distinguishes the one performing qiran from the one performing ifrad: this one intends an 'Umrah and a Hajj, and that one intends only the Hajj. The fidyah is obligatory on the one performing qiran and not obligatory on the one performing ifrad.
