In the Name of Allah,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Obligation to slaughter or Fast for those
performing the 'Umra first (Tamattu') or Hajj
and 'Umra simultaneously (Qiran)
A person performing 'Umra first (tamattu') or performing Hajj
and 'Umra simultaneously (Qiran) is obliged to slaughter (a shah
or to fast, as mentioned below), though if the person performing
Qiran lives within the Haram or within 81 km/50 mi. of it, or if
the person performing Tamattu' returns to the Ihram site for people
of his country (after his 'Umra) to enter Ihram for Hajj, or lives
within 81 km/50 mi.of the Haram - in any of these cases he is not
obliged to slaughter.
If one performing Tamattu' or Qiran is obliged to slaughter but :
(1) lacks an animal there (i.e. in the Haram), which is the place
of the obligation to slaughter, lacks meaning absolutely, as when
there is not an animal available that meets slaughter specifications;
(2) or (there is an animal, but one lacks) its price (or has the price
but needs the money for expenses and the like);
(3) or finds that it is being sold for more than the normal price
for that locality and time;
- then one must fast three days of the Hajj.( For our school it is
insufficient to fast them before the Hajj, as opposed to the school
of Abu Haniffa, in which it is permissible to fast them before the
Hajj ( i.e. when performing Tamattu', fasting them after having
finished the initial 'Umra and before entering ihram for Hajj). It
is recommended that these days be before the Day of 'Arafah
(time permitting, as when one fasts from 1 Dhul Hijja after having
Ihram for Hajj. It is unlawful to delay these fast-days till after the
Day of Arafah), and one must fast seven additional days after
returning home (making a total of ten fast-days).
The time for current performance of the three fast-days ends after
the Day of Arafah (and it is not permissible to fast any of them on
'Eid al-Adha or on the three days following the 'Eid), and if one
thus delays them, it is obligatory to make them up before the other
sevenfast-days, by an interval between the three and seven fast-days
equal to the interval that would have separated them had they been
a current performance, namely, the time taken by the trip (from
Makkah to home) plus four days (equal to the 'Eid and the three days
that follow it).
The Unconditional Intention to Perform Hajj and 'Umra (Itlaq)
The Unconditional Intention to Perform Hajj and 'Umra (Itlaq)
means to merely intend entering into the performance of rites, without
specifying at the time of Ihram that it is for Hajj, 'Umra, or Qiran. After
this, one may use it (the Ihram, made unconditional by the intention) as
one wishes (meaning to perform hajj only, 'Umra only or Qiran) (though
one may not use the unconditional intention as a way to perform Tamattu'
without having either return to Ihram site to enter Ihram for Hajj, or to
slaughter or fast).
The Time of year to enter Ihram for Hajj of 'Umra
It is not permissible to enter Ihram for Hajj other than during its months,
namely , Shawwal, Dhul Qa'da, and the first ten days of Dhul Hijja (with
their days). If one enters Ihram for Hajj during non-Hajj months, one's
Ihram counts for 'Umra.
Entering Ihram for 'Umra is valid at any time of the year except for a
person on Hajj encamped at Mina for stoning.
