Hajj in Islam


 Hajj in Islam is of three kinds:

  • Hajj Al-Tamattu

  • Hajj Al-Qiran

  • Hajj Al-Ifrad

Hajj al-Tamatt'u means entering into ihram for the Umrah, taking off after performing the Umrah, and then entering into ihram again for the Hajj. People who come from other countries usually perform Hajj al-Tamatt'u.

 

 




 

Hajj al-Qiran means entering into ihram for both the Umrah and the Hajj at the same time, not taking off for the ihram until the day of sacrifice at Mina.


Hajj al-Ifrad (Single) means entering into ihram only for the Haj.

Moreover, The difference between both Hajj al-Ifrad, Hajj al-Qiran, and Hajj al-Tamattu, is that the first two are incumbent on the inhabitants of Mecca, (those who do not live a distance of more than l6 farsakhs (nearly 86 Kilometers from Mecca). However, Hajj al-Tamattu is incumbent on the Muslims who live more than 86 kilometers away from Mecca.
