Does someone who performs tamattu’ haj or qiran and liable for Dam (sacrifice animal) cause his hajj to be voided?

The scholars have agreed that Dam (Hadyu – sacrifice animal) is mandatory for those who performs Hajj Tamattu' and Qiran. This is based on the word of Allah Ta'ala in surah Al-Baqarah, verse 196 which says:


"فمن تمتع بالعمرة إلى الحج فما استيسر من الهدي"


Which means: "So whoever wishes to do umrah before Hajj (in the month of Hajj) is obliged to slaughter animal of which he can afford".


Someone who is liable for Dam does not mean that his hajj is not perfect. In fact, offering Dam is by way of Allah to teach His servants to be compassion by feeding the sacrificed meat to the poor.

What we can learn from the wisdom behind the payment of dam is the spirit of giving which benefits both the one who offers the dam and those who receive it. One can then appreciate the true essence of Islam that is leading towards noble values ​​and universal characteristic of which these are the basis for developing noble character.
