In Islam, Hajj is one of the five pillars and has three recognized types: Hajj al-Ifrad, Hajj al-Qiran, and Hajj al-Tamattu. Each type has specific rituals and rules according to Islamic teachings.

Hajj al-Ifrad: Involves performing Hajj alone without combining it with Umrah. The pilgrim enters into Ihram for Hajj only and completes all Hajj rituals.

Hajj al-Qiran: Combines both Hajj and Umrah in one Ihram. Pilgrims perform both rituals without exiting Ihram in between.

Hajj al-Tamattu: Pilgrims perform Umrah first, exit Ihram, and later enter Ihram again for Hajj in the same season. This type is the most common among pilgrims.

These distinctions are important for understanding the proper performance of Hajj, fulfilling religious obligations correctly, and ensuring the acceptance of the pilgrimage. Knowledge of the types of Hajj helps Muslims prepare according to the rituals, dates, and sequence of acts required.
