A woman intended to perform Hajj Tamattu', performed 'Umrah, but was unable to proceed to Hajj; what is required of her?

Al-Hawini: My wife intended to perform Hajj as a Tamattu' pilgrim. She completed her 'Umrah but was unable to proceed to Hajj due to special circumstances. Is anything required of her because she intended Hajj with her 'Umrah?

The Shaykh : Naturally, this has two cases. The first case is if she made a condition with her Lord when she entered the state of ihram for the 'Umrah of Hajj and recited the talbiyah for 'Umrah, saying: "Labbaik Allahumma bi 'Umrah, Allahumma mahalli haysu habbastani" (Here I am, O Allah, for 'Umrah; O Allah, my place of untying is where You have detained me). In that case, nothing is required of her. However, if she did not say that, as is the case with most pilgrims, then it is obligatory for her to offer a sacrificial animal (hady) and it is obligatory for her to repeat the Hajj the following year.

Another questioner : Even if she was not in the state of ihram for Hajj?

The Shaykh : She entered the state of ihram for the 'Umrah of Hajj, as the question stated. Entering the state of ihram for the 'Umrah of Hajj means she was indicating by that, whether she knew it or not, the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . Therefore, as long as she entered the state of ihram for the 'Umrah of Hajj, what we mentioned is required of her. However, if she entered the state of ihram before that, nothing is required of her except to repeat the 'Umrah along with the sacrificial animal. Yes.
