Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This man, may Allah preserve you, O Shaykh, entered the state of ihram for an 'Umrah for his father.
The Shaykh : For his father?
The questioner : Yes, as an obligatory act. Then, when he arrived during the days of Hajj, he entered the state of ihram for Hajj for himself, intending to perform it as ifrad in his Hajj.
The Shaykh : Did he combine his own Hajj with his father's Hajj?
The questioner : The first was an 'Umrah, O Shaykh, but during the months of Hajj. Then he entered the state of ihram for Hajj and intended ifrad?
The Shaykh : If a person enters the state of ihram for an 'Umrah during the months of Hajj on behalf of someone, and then enters the state of ihram for Hajj for himself in the same year, he is a mutamatti'. Therefore, the jurists, may Allah have mercy on them, said: "It is not required for tamattu' that the two rites be performed by one person". So if he performs 'Umrah on behalf of one person and Hajj on behalf of another, he is a mutamatti'. Pay attention to this, because the criterion is his tamattu' between the 'Umrah and the Hajj, whether both rites are for himself, or for another, or one is for himself and the other is for another.
