Q 1: I live in
Jeddah
and I desire to go with my family to perform Tamattu' Hajj ('Umrah during the months of Hajj followed by Hajj in the same year with a break in between). Is it possible to perform 'Umrah during the month of Shawwal or Dhul-Qi`dah and go back to
Jeddah
to resume my job, as my work requires continuous traveling, and go to Mina on the eighth of Dhul-Hijjah?
Also, if I return to
Jeddah
and my boss does not permit me to go to (Part No. 10; Page No. 130
A:
If you have entered into the state of Ihram (ceremonial state for Hajj or 'Umrah) for performing 'Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) during the Sacred Months intending to follow it with Hajj, and then you traveled to your home town with the intention of returning to perform Hajj during the month of Dhul-Hijjah, and before you enter into the state of Ihram for Hajj your boss did not consent that you to go to Hajj, then there is no sin on you. This is because
one is bound to perform Hajj once he has entered into the state of Ihram for it and not by one's mere intention to perform Hajj during this year or another..May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
