Chapter on the Types of Hajj

Hadith.2545 - Mansur al-Sayqal narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) that he said: "The pilgrim falls into three categories with us: one performing tamattu‘ (combining ‘umrah and Hajj with a break in between), one performing ifrad (Hajj alone), and one driving the sacrificial animal (sā'iq al-hady), which is qirān (combining ‘umrah and Hajj without a break)."

Hadith.2547 - Ibn Udhaynah narrated from Zurara, who said: A man came to Abu Ja‘far (as) while he was behind the Maqam (station of Ibrahim) and said: "I have combined (qaran) Hajj and ‘Umrah." Abu Ja‘far (as) asked him: "Have you performed tawaf around the House?" The man replied: "Yes." Imam (as) then asked: "Have you driven the hady (sacrificial animal)?" The man replied: "No." At this, Abu Ja‘far (as) grabbed the man’s hair and said: "You have exited the state of ihram, by Allah (swt)."

Hadith.2550 - Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar narrated from Abu Basir: I said to Abu ‘Abdullah (as), "A man intends to perform Ifrad Hajj (individual Hajj), performs Tawaf around the Ka‘bah, and walks between Safa and Marwah. Then, he decides to turn it into ‘Umrah. What should he do?" Imam (as) replied: "If he pronounced Talbiyah (the devotional call) after completing the Sa‘i and before trimming his hair, then he cannot perform Tamattu‘."
