| TAMATTU` |
| It
is the act of performing `Umrah in the Hajj season
then performing the Hajj itself in the same year.
In this type of Hajj, a pilgrim intends to perform
Tamattu` before setting forth on journey. He intends
`Umrah and enters into the state of Ihram while
uttering, "O Allah! I answer Your call to perform
`Umrah. O Allah! I intend to perform `Umrah, so
make it easy for me, and accept it from me. I intend
to perform `Umrah and I put on the garb of Ihram
only for You, O Allah (the Almighty)." He then
starts to pronounce the Talbiah. Such a pilgrim,
upon reaching Mecca and visiting the Sacred House,
circumambulates the Ka`bah seven times, walks between
Safa and Marwah seven times, then removes his Hajj
garb and gets his hair cut or shaved. |

| He
may do everything that is permissible but was prohibited
for him in the state of Ihram till the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah
(the day of Tarwiah), as he states his intention
and puts on the Hajj garb from his residence, while
uttering "O Allah! I answer Your call to perform
Hajj. O Allah! I intend to perform Hajj, so make
it easy for me, and accept it from me. I intend
to perform Hajj and I put on the garb of Ihram only
for You, O Allah (the Almighty)." Then he starts
to pronounce the Talbiah that goes: "O Allah!
Here I am at Your service. I respond to Your call,
O Allah! Here I am at Your service. I respond to
Your call. Here I am at Your service. I respond
to Your call, and I am obedient to Your orders,
You have no partner. Here I am at Your service.
I respond to Your call. All praises and grace are
due to You and all sovereignty is (too) for You
and You have no partner with You. O Allah! I forbid
myself, my hair, skin and body from wearing perfume
on and from touching women. This is something that
You prevent the one who is in a state of Ihram from
doing it, and I do this only for Your sake, O Allah!
Lord of the worlds." |

| Upon
this, he must make an Offering, because he has performed
`Umrah during the season of Hajj, as stated in the
Holy Qur'an: "If any one wishes to continue
the `Umrah on to the Hajj, he must make an Offering
such as he can afford." For the pilgrim performing
Tamattu` Hajj, the Circumambulation [Tawaf] of `Umrah
is performed instead of the Arrival [Qudum] Circumambulation.
Then, after the first act of removing the garb of
Ihram, he performs the Ifadah Circumambulation and
walks between Safa and Marwah for Hajj. |
| |
| QIRAN |
| It
is to combine both Hajj and `Umrah in only one Ihram.
In this type of Hajj, the pilgrim intends to perform
both of them with declaring his intention only once,
saying, "O Allah! I answer Your call to perform
Hajj and `Umrah." Then, he starts to pronounce
the Talbiah, and remain in the state of Ihram till
the morning of the `Id Al-Adha [Greater Bairam].
Then, he sets forth to throw pebbles at the greater
Jamrah of Al-`Aqabah located near Mecca, gets his
hair shaved or cut, and slaughters his Offering.
Upon completing, he can do the first act of removing
his Ihram, and enjoy everything except touching
women. Also, he can perform the Ifadah Circumambulation
[Tawaf] while wearing his usual clothes. As for
the one who performs the Qiran, the Sa`i which he
performed after the Circumambulation upon entering
the Sacred House, will not have to be performed
after the Ifadah Circumambulation. That is because
that Sa`i was performed for both Hajj and `Umrah.
|
| |
| Finally,
he must make an Offering because he has joined the
rituals of Hajj and `Umrah together. |
| |
| IFRAD |
| It
is the intention to perform Hajj only. In this type
of Hajj, a pilgrim declares that intention while
still at his own home and wears the garb of Ihram
for the Hajj only. Upon reaching the Sacred House,
he starts to circumambulate the Ka`bah and to walk
between Safa and Marwah for Hajj only. He must keep
wearing the garb of Ihram till the morning of `Id
Al-Adha [Greater Bairam]. Then, he sets forth to
throw the pebbles at the greater Jamrah of Al-`Aqabah
near Mecca, then gets his hair shaved or cut, and
slaughters his sacrificial animal. Then, he can
remove his Ihram, and no Offering has he to make.
