Combining Umr'ah and Hajj is something that became forbidden by Umar, the second Sunni Caliph . HISTORY When planning a pilgrimage, one is expected to announce his intention to do so at the start of the journey. If one would start a pilgrimage with only the intention of doing a minor one, and after starting it he would decide that he also intends to do the major one, he needs to go a certain distance away from Mecca , and then start a new pilgrimage, intending to do the greater one. Muhammad had decreed that Umrah and Hajj can be combined, ie: starting a pilgrimage with the intention of participiating in both events. However, Umar decided to ban this practice during his era as Sunni Caliph during a Public Announcement In Which He Forbade Mut'ah . This led to complaints from some of the citizens, as described in the Hadith Of The Four Advices To Umar . The prohibition of this practice has since been voided, and the combination of both Umrah and Hajj in the same month is permitted by both Shi'a and Sunnis. SEE ALSO |
