Sahih Muslim Hadith 3009 – It Is Permissible

English

[3009] 198 – (1240) It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs [may Allah be pleased with them] said: "They used to think that 'Umrah during the months of 1Iajj was one of the greatest evils on earth, and they would make Mubarram Safar. 1' They would say: 'When the backs of the camels have healed and the tracks of the pilgrims have become erased and Safar is over, 'Umrah becomes permissible for those who want to perform 'Umrah.' Then the Prophet and his Companions came on the fourth (of DhuI- }lijjah), reciting the Talbiyah for Hajj, and he told them to make it 'Umrah. This was too hard for them, and they said: '0 Messenger of Allah, exiting Ihrâm to what extent?' He said: 'Completely." That is, changing the name of the month.
