 The Three types of Hajj
To begin, we should note that there are three types of Hājj one may perform. Let
us start by mentioning that the Prophet (saws) only performed one Hājj during his
lifetime. During the course of this journey, he(saw) performed an ‘Umrah, as such,
it is sunnah to perform an Umrah prior to the performance of Hājj.

 Hajj Tamattu

 Hajj Ifrad

 Hajj Qiran

 Hajj Tamattu
 The initial intention when passing over the Mīqāt (either on a plane or by bus from Madīnah) is
made to perform an ‘Umrah, not Hājj.

 After completing the rites of the ‘Umrah, the pilgrim then waits until the 8th of Dhụ al-Hījjah for
the first day of Hājj.

 On this day, they re-enter the state of Ihrām and begin their Hājj.

 Hajj Ifrad
 The intention that enters one into a state of Ihrām is done prior to beginning the Hājj and there is
no accompanying Umrah.

 That being said, one can clearly see this may not be applicable for those visiting Makkah from

afar.

 Hajj Qiran
 The defining element of the Hājj Qīrān is the fact that there is an intention to perform both the
Umrah and the Hājj in a single Ihrām.

 This means that after Umrah, the pilgrim is still in a state of Ihrām and continues to be in the
Ihrām until the day of Eid.
