One who combines 'Umrah and Hajj with a journey in between
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man entered the state of ihram from the miqat of the people of Madinah for Hajj, went to Makkah, and performed 'Umrah on the third of Dhu al-Hijjah. After finishing his 'Umrah, he went to Jeddah where his family is, and returned on the eighth of Dhu al-Hijjah, staying in Makkah. Is this journey from Makkah to Jeddah after finishing his 'Umrah permissible?
If a person enters ihram as a mutamatti' for 'Umrah and Hajj and finishes his 'Umrah, he may travel to his home or elsewhere. However, if he travels to his home and then returns from his home in the state of ihram for Hajj, his tamattu' is broken and he becomes a mufrid. This is because his first journey was broken by his return to his home. So, if he starts a new journey for Hajj, he has started a new journey and becomes a mufrid. But if his journey was to another place other than his home, and he returns from that place in the state of ihram for Hajj, he remains a mutamatti'. This is the correct opinion in this issue.
And some of the scholars said: If he travels between 'Umrah and Hajj a distance that qualifies for shortening the prayer, his tamattu' is broken, whether he travels to his home or to a place other than his home.
And some of the scholars said: If he travels, his tamattu' is not broken, whether he travels to his home or to a place other than his home.
But the middle opinion is the one we choose, which is to distinguish between his return to his home and his return to another place. This is what was narrated from the Commander of the Faithful, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and it is what the meaning requires. Because the reality of the matter is that if he returns to his home and then comes back from there in the state of ihram for Hajj, the reality is that he did not achieve tamattu' between 'Umrah and Hajj in one journey. Rather, they are two independent journeys,Meaning: each one independent of the other.
The questioner: From where does he enter ihram for Hajj?The Shaykh: In the example you mentioned: If he returns to Jeddah, he must, when he returns to Makkah, enter ihram for Hajj from Jeddah.
The questioner: From the miqat of Madinah to Makkah?The Shaykh: From the miqat of Madinah to Makkah, that is for 'Umrah. So, when he went to his family in Jeddah, and the season of Hajj came, he enters ihram for Hajj from Jeddah and performs Hajj as a mufrid.
