The questioner : He says: The honorable Shaykh, I want to perform Hajj as a mutamatti' if Allah wills, and I want to go on the seventh or eighth day. Is that possible?
The Shaykh : Yes. The mutamatti' performs 'Umrah first, exits the state of ihram, and then enters the state of ihram for Hajj. And His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] indicates that there is a time interval between them. So if a person arrives: he enters Mecca on the seventh day, so there is a time interval between them. He exits the state of ihram from 'Umrah, and if it is the eighth day, he enters the state of ihram for Hajj. But if he arrives after the people have gone out to Mina, meaning on the eighth day, then there is no place for tamattu', because the time is what? It is the time of Hajj. How do you convert the time of Hajj to 'Umrah? If you were in Mecca in a state of ihram, we would tell you to enter the state of ihram for Hajj now and go out with the people. So if someone arrives at this time, we tell him: either enter the state of ihram as an ifrad or enter the state of ihram as a qarin. As for tamattu', it has ended, because the time of Hajj has entered. Yes.
The questioner : The honorable Shaykh, I am a woman who married fifteen years ago and have not performed Hajj due to circumstances. And I have not performed Hajj due to circumstances. And Allah the Exalted made it easy for me this year; a charity—a sum of money—came to me, and I do not have the cost of Hajj. And this sum is from a man known for riba, and people know that about him. He has banks dealing in riba. The question, O honorableThe Shaykh : Should I perform Hajj? Knowing that I do not know about this money that I received.
The Shaykh : Yes. The mutamatti' performs 'Umrah first, exits the state of ihram, and then enters the state of ihram for Hajj. And His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He:
whoever performs 'umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj
