One who performed Hajj as an individual, then it became clear that tamattu' was obligatory during the Hajj, what must he do?

The questioner : A man performed Hajj as an individual, and during the Hajj he learned that tamattu' is necessary. What must he do?

The Shaykh : He must annul it.

The questioner : He must annul it.

The Shaykh : He must annul the Hajj and convert it into an 'Umrah, then on the eighth day of Dhu al-Hijjah he should recite the talbiyah for Hajj, and then he should offer a sacrificial animal or fast.

The questioner : Shaykh, if he learned on the Day of Sacrifice that tamattu' is necessary, what must he do?

The Shaykh : On the Day of Sacrifice?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : He missed the group. If it becomes possible for him, he should repeat it again in the coming year, if Allah wills.

The questioner : Is his Hajj valid?

The Shaykh : His Hajj is valid, and the sin is upon the one who issued the fatwa to him.

Another questioner : If a pilgrim intends to offer a sacrificial animal, must he refrain from cutting his hair and nails, imitating the non-pilgrim who intends to offer the 'Id sacrifice?

The Shaykh : It is eleven o'clock. Is he performing tamattu' from 'Umrah to Hajj?

Another questioner : Does the pilgrim who has a sacrificial animal to offer refrain from cutting his hair and nails, like the one who intends to offer the 'Id sacrifice?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : From the 'Umrah... the Hajj pilgrim refrains except for what is necessary for exiting the state of ihram from the 'Umrah, saying: "Subhanak Allahumma wa bihamdika, ashhadu an la ilaha illa anta, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk."
