Which is better for elderly women: Tamattu' or Qiran? And do you advise elderly women to perform Tamattu' or Qiran, taking into consideration that Sa'i is dropped from Qiran, and it is permissible to combine Tawaf Al-Ifadah and Tawaf Al-Wada' as a facilitation for them?

is considered easier than Tamattu' in Hajj for two reasons: First, it involves only one circumambulation () and one ritual walk (Sa'i). Second, the Qarin (one performing Qiran) can delay the Tawaf and Sa'i until after performing the Hajj rituals in Mina, which makes it more convenient and facilitates the process. This aligns with the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) choice of the easier of two matters, as long as it did not involve sin, and Qiran is not a sin; rather, it is one of the rituals of Hajj.
