Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : They say regarding tamattu' that it must be the verbal declaration of dropping one of the two journeys. Is this definition correct... ?
The Shaykh : No, tamattu' in the language of the Companions is broader than that, such that it includes the one who combines (qarin) as well, and there is no, I mean, distinction or... .
The questioner : I mean, for example, if a man from the people of Jeddah went and performed 'Umrah, then returned during the months of Hajj, and then declared his intention for Hajj from Jeddah, does he have to offer a sacrificial animal?
The Shaykh : He owes nothing.
The questioner : He owes nothing, I mean, he is considered a mutamatti' here in this case?
The Shaykh : How could he not! He performed 'Umrah in the months of Hajj, then exited the state of ihram. What does exiting the state of ihram mean? It means he does what is permissible for a non-pilgrim. And he has become a non-pilgrim, so he may... as he wishes, within the limits of what Allah has prescribed.
The questioner : He does not have to offer a sacrificial animal, I mean.
The Shaykh : He does not have to offer a sacrificial animal. He has to offer the sacrificial animal for tamattu'. This is a settled matter. But you mean by the sacrificial animal the fidyah, as they say.
The questioner : No, no, I mean the sacrificial animal.
The Shaykh : The sacrificial animal is obligatory.
The questioner : Well, what is narrated from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab regarding this, is it correct?
The Shaykh : And what is it?
The questioner : That 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "Regarding the one who performed two journeys, I mean, the one who performed 'Umrah in the months of Hajj, then returned to his family and declared his intention for Hajj, that he does not have to offer a sacrificial animal." Is this correct from him?
The Shaykh : In any case, I do not know this, but this is the principle, and we issue rulings based on it: he does not have to offer a sacrificial animal. I mean, here it is not the sacrificial animal, as I told you just now, but rather, I mean, like an expiation or as a fidyah. Yes.
