What should a father and mother who have come to perform 'Umrah from the miqat of As-Sail do, as they are now in Makkah? Should they enter ihram for Hajj Al-Ifrad from Makkah on the Day of Tarwiyah, or should they complete as Mutamatti'in, in which case a hady (sacrificial animal) is due from them, knowing that they are unable to return to the miqat? And what is the ruling for someone who will arrive from Riyadh a week before Hajj; is he required to perform Tamattu', or can he intend for Hajj Al-Ifrad?

He who comes to Mecca for 'Umrah during the months of Hajj and intends to stay there until Hajj, is a mutamatti' (one performing tamattu') and must offer the hady (sacrifice) of tamattu'. A person becomes a mutamatti' simply by entering into ihram for 'Umrah during the months of Hajj while intending to perform Hajj in the same year, even if he did not explicitly intend tamattu'. The hady of tamattu' is waived by returning to one's hometown and then returning to Mecca, entering into ihram for Hajj alone. If the mutamatti' cannot find a hady, he must fast three days during Hajj and seven when he returns to his family. Continuity in fasting is not a condition. If he is unable to fast, then there is nothing upon him. He who performs 'Umrah during the months of Hajj and then returns to his hometown, his tamattu' is severed. If he returns for Hajj in the same year, he enters into ihram for Hajj as a mufrid (one performing ifrad) and is not obligated to offer a hady.
