Salim says that regarding Hajj Tamattu’, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to give the same concession which Allah has revealed in the Qur’an and which is established from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Some people would say to him,“Your father used to prohibit this, why do you oppose him?”He would reply to them,“Do you not fear Allah? If Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) forbade it, he also had good intentions in mind, that people should complete ‘Umrah. When Allah has made it lawful and the Prophet (peace be upon him) acted upon it, then why do you make it unlawful for yourselves? Is following the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) better, or following Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)? Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did not say to you that performing ‘Umrah in the months of Hajj is absolutely forbidden; he only said that the completion of ‘Umrah is that you travel for it separately in a month other than the months of Hajj.”
