THREE TYPES OF HAJJ,,, Hajj-e-Ifraad Ifraad means to ‘do single’. In Shariah Hajj-e-Ifraad is to make intention for only Hajj before passing miqaat and entering into Ihraam with this intention as well. Umrah should not be performed at all in the months of Hajj. A person performing this type of Hajj is known as a Mufrid. Hajj-e-Qiraan Qiraan means to join two things together. Here it means to join Umrah with Hajj by entering into Ihraam with the intention of performing Umrah and Hajj. A person performing this type of Hajj is known as a Qaarin. After performing Umrah, the individual will have to remain in Ihraam until Hajj is complete. Hajj-e-Tammatu Tammatu means ‘to profit’. Before passing miqaat, intention is only made for Umrah without including Hajj. After arriving in Makkah and performing the rites of Umrah the hair is trimmed or shaved and the Ihraam of Umrah finishes. Without going back to the homeland, on the 8th of Zil Hijjah enter into Ihraam with the intention of Hajj only and complete the rites of Hajj. This is known as Hajj-e-Tammatu. A person performing this type of Hajj is known as a Mutammat’e. Hajj-e-Tammatu is the most common and widely practiced type of Hajj amongst the Hujjaj who go from abroad, therefore this Hajj has been explained step by step in the following pages. It will also save unnecessary confusion to those who are performing Hajj for the first time. All Hujjaj are requested to consult their local Scholars and Mufti’s and participate in any local Hajj gatherings to ensure they have practical lessons as well as this booklet as a guideline.
