KINDS OF HAJJ
There are three ways of performing the Hajj:

• Hajj al-Tamatt'u (Interrupted)
  This is the easiest way of performing Hajj as described below.
• Hajj al-Qiran (Combined)
  This denotes entering into ihram for both Umrah and Hajj at the same time, not taking it off until the day of sacrifice at Mina.
  In Qiran one has to stick to the long-lasting restrictions of Ihram
• Hajj al-Ifrad (Single)
  This means entering into ihram only for the Hajj and taking it off only on the day of sacrifice.
