The ruling on one who performs 'Umrah in the months of Hajj and then returns to his home while intending to perform Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man performed 'Umrah in the months of Hajj and then returned to his home after the 'Umrah. His home is at a distance that permits shortening the prayer, and he intends to perform Hajj in the same year. Is he considered a mutamatti'?
If he performs a second 'Umrah and exits the state of ihram from it, and then enters the state of ihram for Hajj, he becomes a mutamatti' with the second 'Umrah. However, if he does not perform a second 'Umrah, he is not a mutamatti' with the first 'Umrah; because he returned to his home. A mutamatti' who returns to his home and then returns in the state of ihram for Hajj becomes a mufrid; because he separated them with the interval of residing in his home, so he initiated a new journey for the Hajj. This is the well-known or transmitted position from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and it is the most correct.
