ʿUmrah During the Months of Hajj Followed by Iḥrām from Abyār ʿAlī: Is It Tamattuʿ?
Extracted from: Fatāwā Arkān-e-Islām
If someone performs ʿUmrah during the months of Hajj, then travels to Madinah, and from there assumes Iḥrām for Hajj at Abyār ʿAlī, will this be considered Hajj al-Tamattuʿ?
Al-ḥamdu lillāh, waṣ-ṣalātu was-salāmu ʿalā Rasūlillāh, ammā baʿd...
If a person performs ʿUmrah during the months of Hajj and intends to perform Hajj in the same year, then this will be counted as Hajj al-Tamattuʿ, even if he travels between the two rites — such as to Madinah.
◈ Traveling between ʿUmrah and Hajj does not nullify the Tamattuʿ status,
◈ Provided that the person does not return to his home city in between.
If the person returns to his own city after completing ʿUmrah and then sets out again for Hajj from there, then:
◈ The Tamattuʿ is considered void,
◈ Because separate journeys have been undertaken for ʿUmrah and Hajj.
If a person:
➤ Performs ʿUmrah during the months of Hajj,
➤ Then travels to Madinah,
➤ And later assumes Iḥrām from Abyār ʿAlī for Hajj,
Then:
✔ His Hajj will still be counted as Tamattuʿ,
✔ And he will be required to offer a sacrificial animal (hady).
This ruling is based on the general verse of the Qur’an:
﴿فَمَن تَمَتَّعَ بِالعُمرَةِ إِلَى الحَجِّ فَمَا استَيسَرَ مِنَ الهَدىِ﴾
— Sūrah al-Baqarah, Āyah 196
“So whoever performs ʿUmrah [during the Hajj months] and then [completes it] with Hajj must offer what can be easily afforded of sacrificial animals.”
ھذا ما عندي، والله أعلم بالصواب
