Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May the Shaykh be respected, a man performed Hajj and 'Umrah, intending the 'Umrah for another and the Hajj for himself. Is he considered a mutamatti'?
The Shaykh : If a person performs 'Umrah for himself and intends to perform Hajj for another in the same year, he is considered a mutamatti', because the actor is one person who combined 'Umrah and Hajj. But I ask you: why did he make the 'Umrah for himself and the Hajj for another? Is he doing it as a charity, or was he appointed by another to perform the Hajj?
The questioner : Heard.
The Shaykh : I am asking why.
The questioner : But he intended the 'Umrah for another and the Hajj for himself.
The Shaykh : He is doing it as a charity.
The questioner : Yes, he is doing it as a charity.
The Shaykh : There is no harm.
The questioner : Well, if he were not doing it as a charity, for example,
The Shaykh : If he were not doing it as a charity, the known custom in our practice is that when a person appoints you to perform Hajj and gives you the expenses, it is understood that he wants both 'Umrah and Hajj performed.
