Differences between the different types of Hajj : Al-Ifrad, Al-Tamatt'u, Al-Qiran

Before performing the rites, the pilgrim should decide whether he/she will only perform Hajj (Al-Ifrad), (single), or he/she will make a combination between Hajj and Umrah (Hajj Al-Tamattu, Al-Qiran). Hajj Al-Ifrad means entering into Ihram only for the Hajj.

Hajj Al-Tamatt’u means entering into Ihram for the Umrah, taking Ihram off after performing the Umrah, and then entering into Ihram again for the Hajj. Hajj Al-Qiran means entering into Ihram for both Hajj and Umrah at the same time not taking off for the Ihram until the 8^th of Dhul-Hijjah.
