Praise be to Allaah.

Types of Hajj

There are three types of Hajj: Tamattu', Ifraad and Qiraan.

Tamattu' means entering ihraam for 'Umrahonly during the months of Hajj (the months of Hajjare Shawwaal, Dhu'l-Qi'dah and Dhu'l-Hijjah; see al-Sharh al-Mumti', 7/62). When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he performs tawaaf and saa'i for 'Umrah, and shaves his head or cuts his hair, and exits ihraam. Then when the day of al-Tarwiyah, which is the 8th of Dhu'l-Hijjah, comes, he enters ihraam for Hajj only, and does all the actions of Hajj. So Tamattu' involves a complete 'Umrah and a complete Hajj. Ifraad means entering ihraam for Hajj only. When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he performs tawaaf al qudoom (tawaaf of arrival) and saa'i for Hajj, but he does not shave or cut his hair and does not exit ihraam, rather he remains in ihraamuntil he exits ihraam after stoning Jamarat al-'Aqabah on the day of Eid. If he delays the saa'i of Hajj until after the tawaaf of Hajj, there is nothing wrong with that.

Qiraan means entering ihraam for 'Umrah and Hajj both together. Or entering ihraam for 'Umrah first then including Hajj in that before starting the tawaaf of Hajj. That is done by intending that his tawaaf and saa'i will be for both Hajj and 'Umrah.

The actions done in Qiraan are the same as those done in Ifraad, except that the pilgrim doing Qiraan has to offer a hadiy (sacrifice) whereas the pilgrim doing Ifraad does not.

The best of these three types of Hajj is Tamattu'. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined upon his companions and urged them to do. Even if a person enters ihraam for Qiraan or Ifraad, then it is strongly recommended for him to change his intention to 'Umrah, then complete 'Umrah and exit ihraam, so that he will then be doing Tamattu'. He may do that after doing tawaaf al-qudoom and saa'i - because when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did tawaaf and saa'iduring his Farewell Pilgrimage, and his companions were with him, he told everyone who did not have a sacrificial animal (hadiy) to change his intention and make his ihraamfor 'Umrah and to cut his hair and exit ihraam, and he said, "Were it not that I have brought the hadiy with me, I would do what I have commanded you to do."

What place does the hajj start?

The place that Hajj starts is the place where you enter the state of Ihram. Ihram is a sacred state in which a Muslim has to be in to perform the Hajj. In this state, a Muslim is forbidden to cut their hair, nails, wear perfume, have sexual intercourse, kill animals, or cut down trees. Because there are 3 different types if Hajj, there are different places where you put on ihram, which means there are different places where Hajj starts. For Hajj tamatu', the hajj starts from the moment and place you leave to Minna. For hajj Qiraan and Ifraad, a person puts on ifraad at the meeqat, which are points before entering the doors of Makkah. However, there are specific DESTINATIONS as the first place where Hajj starts for a person. For the one who does Hajj Tamatu', the first destination is Minna. For the ones doing Hajj Ifraad or Hajj Qiraan, the first destination is the haram, or where the ka'bah is located.
