5-Endless Bliss Fifth Fascicle - Hakikat Kitabevi

A person who performs the hajj is called a hadji. There are
three kinds of hadjis:
1 - Mufrid hadji: a person who intends only for hajj when
putting on the ihrâm. Inhabitants of Mekka can be mufrid hadji
only.
2 - Qârîn hadji: a person who intends both for hajj and for
umra. First he performs the tawâf [1] and sâ’i [2] for umra and
then, without taking off his ihrâm and without cutting his hair,
performs the tawâf and sâ’i again, this time for hajj on the days
of hajj. There is more thawâb for the qirân hajj than for either of
the other two kinds.
3 - Mutamatti’ hadji: he puts on the ihrâm to perform umra in
the months of hajj, performs the tawâf and sâ’i for umra, cuts
his hair, and takes off his ihrâm. He does not go back to his
home town (or country) but, on the day of Terwiya [3] , or earlier,
in the same year, wears ihrâm for hajj, and performs the hajj
like a mufrid hadji. Only, he performs the sâ’i after the tawâf,
too. Thawâb for this tamattu’ hajj is more than that of the ifrâd
hajj (first kind). The months for hajj are Shawwâl and Zu’l-qa’da,
plus the first ten days of Zu’l-hijja. It is wâjib for the qârin and
mutamatti’ hadjis to perform the thanksgiving qurbân. If they do
not, they will have to fast on the seventh, eighth and ninth days
of Zu’l-hijja and also for seven more days after the ’Iyd (of
qurbân). All these days add up to ten days. Meccans cannot be
qârin or mutamatti’ hadji.
Umra means the performance of the tawâf and sâ’i with the
ihrâm on and the shaving or cutting of the hair on any day of the
year except the five days allotted for hajj. Doing umra once in a
lifetime is sunna muakkad in (the Madhhabs of) Hanafî and
Mâlikî, while it is fard in Shâfi’î and Hanbalî. The hajj which is
fard is called Hajj-i akber or Hajjatul-Islâm. Umra is called
Hajj-i asghâr.
The hajj has conditions, farâid (fards), wâjibs, and sunnas. It
has two kinds of conditions:
B - Conditions for incumbency. They are eight according to
[1] Visiting, and going around the blessed Kâ’ba at Mekka.
[2] Performance of the course between Safa and Merva.
[3] The eighth day of Zu’l-hijja. The day previous to ’Arafa, which, in turn, is
previous to the first day of the ’Iyd of Qurbân.
