A person who intends to perform only Umrah and enters Ihram at the Meeqat is known as a Mufrid. In Islamic terminology, the types of Hajj are classified based on the intention and the combination of Hajj and Umrah performed. The three main types are: Hajj al-Ifrad, Hajj al-Qiran, and Hajj al-Tamattu‘.
