Forgot to Make Talbiyah For Tamattu' Hajj

A pilgrim has put on Ihram at the Miqat but he forgot to say Talbiyah for Tamattu' Hajj. Should he complete his rites as a Mutamatti'? What should he do if he takes off his Ihram, and puts on the Ihram for Hajj from Mecca?

If he has made an intention for Umrah when he put on the Ihram but he forgot to say Talbiyah while he was intending for Umrah, he will be considered as one who uttered Talbiyah. He has to perform Tawaf, Sa’i and cutting the hair, then he takes off his Ihram. It is permissible for him to say Talbiyah on the way.

If he did not say Talbiyah then there is nothing required of him because the saying of Talbiyah is only a confirmed Sunnah.

He makes Tawaf, Sa’i, has his hair cut and makes it Umrah. This is because he had intention for Umrah. If he has made intention for Hajj while putting on the Ihram and the time is enough, it is preferable for him to change his pilgrimage to Umrah.

After that, he makes Tawaf, Sa’i, has a haircut and then takes off the Ihram. Praise be to Allah, he will be considered as a Mutamatti'.
