The abrogation of Hajjul-Qiran and Hajjul-Ifrad
Question :
Some people claim that Hajjul-Qiran and Hajjul-Ifrad have been abrogated by the command of the Prophet to the Companions that they should perform Hajjut-Tamattu". What does your eminence think about this statement?
Question :
This statement is false and it is baseless in regards to correctness. The scholars have unanimously agreed that the types of Hajj are three-Al-Ifrad, Al-Qiran and At-Tamattu'. Whoever performs Hajjul-Ifrad, his Ihram is correct and his Hajj is correct, and he does not have to perform a sacrifice. However, if he changes his intent to 'Umrah, then that is better according to the most correct view among the opinions of the people of knowledge. This is because the Prophet ordered those who had assumed Ihram for Hajj or combined Hajj and Umrah for Al-Qiran while they had not brought a sacrificial animal with them , to make their Ihram for 'Umrah. Thus, they performed Tawaf and Say, got their hair cut and removed their Ihram. The Companions did that and that was not an abrogation of the Hajjul-Ifrad. It was only direction from the Prophet concerning that which is best and more complete. And Allâh is the Giver of success.
