Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Rites of Hajj, Practical Treatise and Rules Conditions of Hajj al-Tamattu’ Article 24 There are five conditions in Hajj al-Tamattu’: 1- Niyyah (Intention) which is that the pilgrim should intend to perform “Hajj al-Tamattu’” for Allah, therefore if this person intends to perform some other type of Hajj or has some doubt about performing “Hajj al-Tamattu’” or other type of Hajj or he/she does not have pure intention for Hajj, then his/her Hajj is not correct.

2- Both “Umrah” and “Hajj” should be performed in months of Hajj (Shawwal, Dhu’l-Qa’dah and Dhu’l-Hijjah), therefore it is not enough that a pilgrim performs all of Umrah or a part of it before the month of Shawwal. 3- A pilgrim should perform both “Umrah al-Tamattu”’ and “its Hajj” in one year, if he/she performs one of them in this year, and the next one in another year (even in the months of Hajj), then this Hajj is not correct.

4- As it was mentioned before, Ihram of “Hajj al-Tamattu’” should be worn from Mecca.. There is no difference between different places or regions of Mecca. it can be worn from a house, mosque, or even in a street, but the best place for wearing Ihram is in “Masjid al-Haraam”. 5- If “Hajj al-Tamattu’” is to be performed by proxy, then both “Umrah” and “Hajj” should be performed by the same person and it is not enough that a person performs Umrah and another one performs Hajj.

Article 25 As an obligatory precaution, the pilgrim should not leave Mecca after performing “Umrah al-Tamattu”’ until the time of Hajj commences and he/she performs Hajj.

Unless there is a special necessity or need that in this case as obligatory precaution the pilgrim should wear Ihram with the intention of Hajj and leave Mecca with Ihram and remain in that state in return, until he/she performs the rites of Hajj; but if wearing Ihram causes this person severe hardness then he/she can renounce that act. Then there is no difference in this ruling between obligatory and Mustahab Hajj.

Article 26 The rule of prohibition of leaving Mecca is for people who have performed Umrah al-Tamattu’ and want to travel a far distance. Therefore going to a distance one or two parasang (each parasang is approximately 5.6 km) far from Mecca is not prohibited and people who live out of Mecca can return to their homes after performing Umrah.
