Sahih al-Bukhari 1813 (Book 27, Hadith 8) #1736
Combining Hajj and 'Umra

SUMMARY: Abdullah bin Umar set out to perform Umra during a time of affliction and decided to combine it with Hajj, performing one Tawaf for both.

Narrated Nafi': When 'Abdullah bin 'Umar set out for Mecca with the intentions performing 'Umra in the period of afflictions, he said, "If I should be prevented from reaching the Ka'ba, then I would do the same as we did while in the company of Allah's Messenger ﷺ ". So, he assumed the Ihram for 'Umra since the Prophet ﷺ had assumed the Ihram for 'Umra in the year of Al-Hudaibiya. Then 'Abdullah bin 'Umar thought about it and said, "The conditions for both Hajj and 'Umra are similar". He then turned towards his companions and said, "The conditions of both Hajj and 'Umra are similar and I make you witnesses that I have made the performance of Hajj obligatory for myself along with 'Umra". He then performed one Tawaf (between As-Safa and Al-Marwa) for both of them (ie Hajj and ('Umra) and considered that to be sufficient for him and offered a Hadi.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ حِينَ خَرَجَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ مُعْتَمِرًا فِي الْفِتْنَةِ إِنْ صُدِدْتُ عَنِ الْبَيْتِ صَنَعْنَا كَمَا صَنَعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ أَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ نَظَرَ فِي أَمْرِهِ فَقَالَ مَا أَمْرُهُمَا إِلاَّ وَاحِدٌ‏.‏ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ مَا أَمْرُهُمَا إِلاَّ وَاحِدٌ، أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُ الْحَجَّ مَعَ الْعُمْرَةِ، ثُمَّ طَافَ لَهُمَا طَوَافًا وَاحِدًا، وَرَأَى أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مُجْزِيًا عَنْهُ، وَأَهْدَى‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive to fulfill religious obligations , Be mindful of circumstances , Combine two acts within Islamic guidelines

EXPLANATIONS:
Abdullah bin Umar was travelling to Mecca with the intention of performing 'Umra, a pilgrimage that is usually done separately from the annual pilgrimage of Hajj. However, due to the difficult circumstances he was facing at the time, he decided to combine his 'Umra with his Hajj. He assumed Ihram for both pilgrimages as Prophet Muhammad had done in the year of Al-Hudaibiya. He then performed one Tawaf between As-Safa and Al-Marwa for both pilgrimages and offered a Hadi as sacrifice. This hadith teaches us that even in difficult times we should strive to do our best in fulfilling our religious obligations while also being mindful of our circumstances. We should also be aware that sometimes combining two acts can be beneficial if it is done within Islamic guidelines.
