Whoever performs 'Umrah during Shawwal and returns to his People (i.e., his land) and then performs Hajj only, is he a Mutamatti"?

Question :

I performed 'Umrah during the last days of the month of Shawwal, then I returned (to Makkah) with the intention of performing only Hajj (Al-Ifrad). I would like to know about my situation. Am I considered a Mutamatti' and am I obligated to slaughter an animal or not?

Answer:

If the person performs 'Umrah during Shawwal or during Thul-Qa'dah, then he returns to his people (i.e., his land), then he comes for Hajj only (as a Mufrid performing Hajjul- Ifrad), the majority view is that he is not a Mutamatti and he does not have to sacrifice an animal. This is because he went back to his land, then returned for Hajj as a Mufrid. This is what has been reported from 'Umar and his son, and it is the view of the majority of the scholars. It is reported from Ibn 'Abbas that such a person is a Mutamatti' and that he must sacrifice an animal, because he combined between Hajj and Umrah during the months of Hajj in a single year. However, the majority says that if he returned to his land- and some even say if he travels a distance that is considered a journey - and then comes for Hajj only, he is not a Mutamatti'. It seems apparent - and Allâh knows best - that what has been related from 'Umar and his son is the most correct view. That is that if he returns to his land, then he is not a Mutamatti'. However, if he comes for Hajj and performs 'Umrah, then he stays in Jeddah or At-Ta'if, then he assumes Ihram for Hajj, then he is a Mutamatti". His going out to At-Ta'if, Jeddah or Al-Madinah does not remove him from being a Mutamatti, because he came to offer them both (Hajj and 'Umrah) together. He only traveled to Jeddah or At-Ta'if for a need. The same applies to the person who travels to Al-Madinah for visiting the Prophet's Mosque. All of that does not remove the person from being a Mutamatti' according to what seems most apparent and most correct. Thus, such a person must sacrifice an animal, which is the sacrifice of the Mutamatti'. He must also make Sa'y for his Hajj just as he made Sa'y for his 'Umrah.
