One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Our relatives  are arrived to perform HAJ E TAMATTU ( after performing Umrah, they removed Heram) and wants to visit to Jeddah to see our other relatives before Haj because they  schedules to go back to India within a week after Haj.  Somebody told them that, they cant leave HUDUD E HARAM after performing UMRAH for HAJ E TAMMATTU , before HAJ.We do not know how far its correct, would kindly please let us know the rule:

1.Whether they can leave Makkah and visit to their relatives in Jeddah now OR

They have to wait till HAJ completed?

Please guide us in this regard.

May Allah bless you for this Nobel cause you are performing to guide  the

momeneen brothers and sisters .

Answer:

 

Hajj leave makkah

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

The absolute majority of the scholars and jurists in Islam are of the opinion that it would not be permissible for one who has intended to perform the ‘Hajj-e-tamatto’ to return back to their homes between their ‘Umrah’ and ‘Hajj’….if they have come for Hajj with the intention of ‘Hajj-e-tamatto’ from overseas or a distant land. 

 

But if one has come for the Hajj pilgrimage from a distant land with the intention to perform the ‘Hajj-e-tamatto’, and wishes to only visit their relatives and loved ones living in Jeddah, or wishes to travel to Madinah to visit the Prophet’s Mosque, etc. between their Umrah and their Hajj rites…..the absolute majority of the scholars and jurists in Islam are of the opinion that there is absolutely no harm.  And Allah Alone Knows Best.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
