Abu Imran Aslami says that once I went for Hajj with my masters. I presented myself before the noble wife of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Hazrat Umm Salamah, and asked: "Can I perform Umrah before Hajj?" She replied: "If you wish to perform Umrah before Hajj, then do so before Hajj, and if you wish to do it after, then do it after." I said: "Some people say that for a person who has not performed Hajj, it is not correct to perform Umrah before Hajj." Then I asked the same question to the other Mothers of the Believers, and they also gave the same answer. So I returned to Hazrat Umm Salamah and told her their answer. She said: "Alright, I will satisfy you. I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: 'O family of Muhammad (peace be upon him), enter into Ihram for Umrah along with Hajj.'"
