How many Types of Hajj are there? Islamic Fiqh

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

Ifraad: The type of Hajj in which the pilgrim pronounces his intention to perform only Hajj (as opposed to Hajj and `Umraah) at the Meeqaat while changing into                                                            Ihraam.

Qiraan: The type of Hajj in which the pilgrim pronounces his intention to perform both `Umraah and Hajj together with the same Ihraam at the Meeqaat.

Tamaattu`: The type of Hajj in which the pilgrim pronounces his intention to perform only `Umraah at the Meeqaat when changing into Ihraam. The pilgrim performs `Umraah and then goes out of Ihraam until the 8th of Zill Hajj. On that day, the pilgrim makes a second intention and a second change into Ihraam for the performance of the remaining rites of Hajj.

تابعوا بين الحج والعمرة فإنهما ينفيان الفقر والذنوب كما ينفي ‏ ‏الكير ‏ ‏خبث الحديد ‏ ‏والذهب والفضة وليس للحجة المبرورة ثواب إلا الجنة
“Make the Hajj and the Umraah follow each other closely, (wear the Ihraam for Qiraan, in which the intention of Hajj and ‘Umraah is done or perform both the Hajj and ‘Umrah consecutively) for they remove poverty and sins as a furnace removes impurities from iron, gold and silver; and Hajj which is accepted, its reward is Paradise.”
