Hadith 15832

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard some of thepeople of knowledge say, "If someone goes into ihram to do umra andthen wants to go into ihram to do hajj as well, he can do so, as longas he has not done tawaf of the House and s'ay between Safa and Marwa.This is what Abdullah ibn 'Umar did when he said, 'If I am blockedfrom the House we shall do what we did when we were with the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.' He then turned tohis companions and said, 'It is the same either way. I call you towitness that I have decided in favour of hajj and umra together. ' "Malik said, "The companions of the Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, went into ihram to do umra in theyear of the farewell hajj, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace, said to them, 'Anyone that has a sacrificialanimal with him should go into ihram to do hajj and umra together, andhe should not come out of ihram until he has finished both.' "
