Question:
One of her questions says: Is it permissible to perform Hajj and 'Umrah at the same time? Because I want to perform Hajj on one day and 'Umrah the next day; because, as I listened to your program, it is done at the same time?
Answer:
Yes, it is better for him to perform 'Umrah and Hajj together in one journey. The best is to start with 'Umrah: he enters Makkah and enters the state of ihram from the miqat for 'Umrah, then he performs tawaf and sa'y and shortens his hair, whether he is a man or a woman. Then, when it is the eighth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, he enters the state of ihram for Hajj and responds to the call for Hajj: "O Allah, here I am for Hajj." He wears his ihram garments—an izar and a rida' if he is a man—and responds to the call for Hajj. The woman wears whatever clothing she wishes and enters the state of ihram for Hajj on the eighth day. It is better that she wears clothing that has no fame or fitnah (temptation) so that she can complete her Hajj. By doing this, she is performing tamattu'. She owes one sacrificial animal, one slaughter, to be performed during the days of 'Id for her tamattu', just as the man does. If she performs Hajj ifrad (alone) and then performs 'Umrah after Hajj, she enters the state of ihram from the halal area, from at-Tan'im or elsewhere, and performs tawaf and sa'y and shortens her hair; there is no harm in this, as 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) did, for she performed 'Umrah after Hajj. But the best is that the 'Umrah be before the Hajj.
The first thing a man or woman does when they arrive in Makkah is to enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah from the miqat, saying: "O Allah, here I am for 'Umrah." Then, when he arrives in Makkah, he performs tawaf seven circuits around the House and sa'y seven circuits between al-Safa and al-Marwah. Then he shortens his hair; the man cuts the ends of his hair, and likewise the woman cuts a little from the ends of each lock. The 'Umrah is completed by this, and praise be to Allah. Then he remains in a state of halal, and the woman remains in a state of halal in Makkah for her husband to be with her, and she may use perfume, and he may use perfume, all of them; because it is a complete state of halal. In it, a person may use perfume and come to his family until the time for Hajj arrives. When the time for Hajj arrives, he responds to the call for Hajj on the eighth day and heads to Mina. He takes a bath, uses perfume, and says: "Here I am for Hajj," and heads to Mina. This is what is prescribed and this is the best. If he enters the state of ihram for Hajj from the miqat, performing Hajj ifrad, and remains in his state of ihram until he performs Hajj, and then performs 'Umrah after that, there is no harm, but he has left the sunnah, left the best. What he should do is enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah alone, perform tawaf and sa'y, shorten his hair, and exit the state of ihram, then wait. When the time for Hajj arrives, he responds to the call for Hajj as mentioned. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) to do when they entered Makkah in a state of ihram for Hajj. Some of them were in a state of ihram for Hajj and 'Umrah, and they did not have sacrificial animals, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to make it an 'Umrah, to perform tawaf and sa'y, shorten their hair, and exit the state of ihram. So they did . This is the sunnah and this is the best. And Allah is the One to be asked for help. Yes.
