Hac Qiran

What Does Hac Qiran Mean in Detail?

In Hac Qiran, the haci declares their intention for both Umre and Hac simultaneously at the Miqat, saying 'Labbayk Allahumma Hajjan wa Umratan' (Here I am, O Allah, for Hac and Umre). Alternatively, the haci may enter Ihram for Umre first and then add the intention of Hac before beginning the Tavaf of Umre. The distinctive feature of Qiran is that the haci remains in the state of Ihram continuously — they do not exit Ihram between Umre and Hac as in Tamattu. Upon arriving in Mekke, they perform Tavaf al-Qudum and may perform Say. Then they stay in Ihram until completing all the rites of Hac. According to the majority of scholars, one Tavaf (Tavaf al-Ifadah) and one Say suffice for both the Umre and Hac obligations. Like Tamattu hacilar, Qiran hacilar must offer a Hady sacrifice as thanksgiving for combining both acts of worship in one journey. This was the type of Hac performed by Hz. Peygamber Muhammad (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) according to several hadith narrations, as he brought his sacrificial animal with him. Qiran is more demanding than Tamattu because the haci endures the Ihram restrictions for a longer period.
