Types of Ihram
Fatwa no. 5229
Q: I have read many books on the rituals of Hajj and I nearly have enough information about them now, but despite this, there are still some subjects that I cannot understand correctly due to the conflicting opinions and juristic views. One of these subjects is making intention for Ifrad Hajj (performing Hajj only); one opinion says that it is not required to offer a sacrificial animal and another says that it is required; which of these two opinions should I follow? I have not read one book that satisfied me about Hajj or Hajj as performed by the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his Sahabah (Companions, may Allah be pleased with all of them). I would like you to clarify these matters in a simple and clear way. May Allah reward you with the best!

It is obligatory to offer a Hady in Qiran Hajj. The third: assuming Ihram to perform ‘Umrah during the months of Hajj....READ MORE
