Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : If one converts Hajj into 'Umrah with the intention of exiting the state of Hajj for the sake of dire necessity, such as illness or any work?

The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible. If it is a dire necessity, Allah the Exalted said:

But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals

فإن أُحصرتم فما استيسر من الهدي

[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
