Did the Salaf, when they used the term tamattu', intend by it qiran?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Abdullah: What the Salaf used to say, their use of the term tamattu' is more comprehensive, covering both qiran and non-qiran, meaning entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah?
The Shaykh : Yes, some of the Salaf say: The meaning of tamattu' is that a person enjoys the exemption from one of the two journeys, because if he performs qiran, the journey for 'Umrah is dropped from him, and if he performs tamattu', the journey for 'Umrah is also dropped from him. But this is not what is intended in the verse, because He said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] This indicates that the meaning of tamattu' in the noble verse is enjoying the 'Umrah by exiting its state of consecration until the time for Hajj arrives.
The questioner : But my intention is for the discussion to be about the state of our enjoyment, meaning even if it were qiran.
The Shaykh : No.

But this is not what is intended in the verse, because He said:
whoever performs 'umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj
فمن تمتع بالعمرة إلى الحجThe questioner : But my intention is for the discussion to be about the state of our enjoyment, meaning even if it were qiran.
The Shaykh : No.
