Title

Assuming Ihram on the Last Day of Ramadan

Date

21/Oct/2009

Question

Dear respected sheikhs, as-salamu`alaykum.

 

Is the person who assumes ihram (state of ritual consecration for pilgrims) on the last day of Ramadan and reaches the Sacred House on the first night of Shawwal considered to be performing Tamattu` (`Umrah during the months of Hajj followed by Hajj in the same year)?

 

Also, I need to know the ruling of Shari`ah for a person who assumed ihram in Jeddah, and not at the Miqat (station at which the pilgrims should assume ihram for Hajj and `Umrah). This person then reached the Sacred House and performed Tawaf (circumambulation around the Ka`bah) and Sa`i (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj) and then went to Madinah. Before returning to Makkah, this person assumed ihram in Madinah and then went to Makkah to perform Tawaf and Sa`i between Safa and Marwah. Is the Tawaf of this person sufficient instead of the first required damm (atonement required of the pilgrim for a willful violation of a prohibition or obligation during the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah)?

 

Jazakum Allah khayran.

Answer

Wa `alaykum as-salamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.


In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.


All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

 

Dear brother, thanks for your question. May Allah bless those who seek knowledge to dispel the clouds of ignorance.

 

When a person performs `Umrah during the months of Hajj and then performs Hajj in the same year, thus enjoying the state of removing the ritual consecration in between, this is called Tamattu`. But the point here is that one should assume ihram for `Umrah during the months of Hajj, not before them.

 

Answering this question, the Standing Committee for Islamic Research and Ifta', stated,

 

First, if a person assumes ihram for `Umrah at the end of Ramadan; performs Tawaf and Sa`i only on the first night of Shawwal; performs Tahallul (removal of the state of ihram) after finishing the `Umrah; and afterward performs Hajj in the same year, this is not considered Tamattu` because this person's ihram for `Umrah was not assumed during the months of Hajj.

 

Second, as for the person who assumes ihram for `Umrah after going beyond the Miqat and then performs `Umrah and travels to Madinah and then assumes ihram at the Miqat for another `Umrah and performs it, the second `Umrah does not cancel the first required damm he or she had to offer to expiate assuming iharm after the Miqat for the first `Umrah.

 

May Allah grant us success, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, Muhammad, and his family and Companions.
