Abd ibn Humayd narrated to us: Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim ibn Sa'd informed me: My father narrated to us, from Salih ibn Kaysan, from Ibn Shihab, that Salim ibn Abd Allah told him he heard a man from Syria ask Abd Allah ibn Umar about combining Umrah with Hajj. Ibn Umar said, ‘It is lawful.’ The Syrian replied, ‘Your father prohibited it.’ Ibn Umar said, ‘If my father prohibited it but the Messenger of Allah did it, whose command should we follow, my father's or the Messenger of Allah's?’ The man replied, ‘The Messenger of Allah's.’ Ibn Umar said, ‘The Messenger of Allah did it.’

This is a hasan sahih hadith. There are reports on this topic from Ali, Uthman, Jabir, Sa'd, Asma bint Abi Bakr, and Ibn Umar. Some scholars among the Prophet's Companions and others preferred combining Umrah with Hajj. This means entering ihram for Umrah during the months of Hajj, then remaining until performing Hajj. Such a pilgrim must offer whatever sacrificial animal is readily available; if unable, he must fast three days during Hajj and seven upon returning home. It is recommended that he fast the three days during the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah, with the last on the Day of Arafat. If he does not fast during those ten days, some scholars among the Prophet's Companions—including Ibn Umar and A'ishah—and Malik, al-Shafi'i, Ahmad, and Ishaq permitted fasting on the Days of Tashriq. Others said he should not fast on the Days of Tashriq; this is the view of the people of Kufa. Abu Isa said: Hadith scholars prefer combining Umrah with Hajj; this is the view of al-Shafi'i, Ahmad, and Ishaq.
