Does tamattu' end if one returns to his country during the months of Hajj?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Raise your voice.
The questioner : By what does tamattu' end?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : By what does tamattu' end? Some say that it ends if he returns to his family, and some say if he returns the distance of qasr (shortening the prayer). What is the correct opinion, with the evidence?
The Shaykh : I did not understand much of what you are saying. By what does what end?
The questioner : Tamattu'.
The Shaykh : Tamattu'?
The questioner : Yes, tamattu'.
The Shaykh : Tamattu' does not end. Tamattu' is the tahallul (exiting the state of ihram). Once a person performs tahallul, everything that Allah the Mighty and Majestic has made permissible is permissible for him. Whether he stays where he is or goes to another country, outside the Haram, nothing ends it, as long as the 'Umrah was in one of the months of Hajj. Have I answered your question?
The questioner : I mean, does the hady (sacrificial animal) drop off him?
The Shaykh : The hady does not drop off him absolutely. How does the hady drop off him? But what is obligatory for him is to offer the hady on one of the days of Tashriq.
The questioner : Some people say: If a person comes as a mutamatti' (one performing tamattu') with 'Umrah to Hajj in the months of Hajj, then he performs another 'Umrah and wants to return to his family, some say if he returns to his family, there is no hady on him, and some say if he returns the distance of qasr, there is no hady on him.
The Shaykh : What dropped the hady, my brother? I know, I have answered you. The hady does not drop off. But if someone says: The hady dropped off this one who went out and returned to his country, what dropped it? It is merely opinion, and there is no evidence for it. Our Lord says:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] So what you are asking about is either that the hady was made easy for him or it was not made easy for him. If it was made easy for him, it became a debt upon his person, and if it was not made easy for him, then three days in Hajj and seven when he returns. This ruling is established; nothing has abrogated it, and it is not permissible to precede the text of Allah and His Messenger with mere opinion. Please.

then whoever performs 'umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned [home]. Those are ten complete [days]. This is for those whose family is not in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram
فمن تمتع بالعمرة إلى الحج فما استيسر من الهدي فمن لم يجد فصيام ثلاثة أيام في الحج وسبعةٍ إذا رجعتم تلك عشرة كاملة ذلك لمن لم يكن أهله حاضري المسجد الحرام
