Hajj Information
(1). Qiran
(2). Tamattu’
(3). Ifrad
1. Qiran: It is the most preferred type of Hajj. The performer of this Hajj is called a Qarin. For this Hajj, the intention of both Hajj and ‘Umrah is made together after IHram has been put on. After performing ‘Umrah, a Qarin cannot get Halq or Qaṣr done; rather, he will remain in the state of IHram as usual. On the 10th, 11th or 12th of Zul-Hijjah, after having Halq or Qaṣr done and offering sacrifice (Qurbani), he will remove his IHram.
2. Tamattu’: The performer of this type of Hajj is called a Mutamatte’. Those coming from outside Miqat in the months of Hajj can perform this Hajj. For example, the people from Indo-Pak usually perform Tamattu’. The convenience that lies in it is that a Mutamatte’, after performing ‘Umrah, can get Halq or Qaṣr done and remove his IHram. Then, on the 8th of Zul-Hijjah or before it, IHram of Hajj is put on.
3. Ifrad: The performer of this type of Hajj is called a Mufrid. This type of Hajj does not include ‘Umrah. Only the IHram for Hajj is put on. The residents of Makkah and Hilli, i.e. those living between Haram area and Miqat (e.g. the people of Jeddah) perform Hajj Ifrad. If they perform Hajj Qiran or Hajj Tamattu’, Dam will become Wajib. However, Afaqi can perform ‘Ifrad’.
