´It was narrated that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said:` “We began our Talbiyah for Hajj only with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and we did not mix it with ‘Umrah. We arrived in Makkah when four nights of Dhul-Hijjah had passed, and when we had performed Tawaf around the Ka’bah and Sa’y between Safa and Marwah, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to make it ‘Umrah, and to come out of Ihram and have relations with our wives. We said: ‘There are only five (days) until ‘Arafah. Will we g out to it with our male organs dripping with semen?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘I am the most righteous and truthful among you, and were it not for the sacrificial animal, I would have exited Ihram.’ Suraqah bin Malik said: ‘Is this Tamattu’ for this year only or forever?’ He said: ‘No, it is forever and ever.’”
Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
If, at the time of entering into ihram, only the intention for Hajj was made, then later the intention can be changed to that of ‘umrah.
(2)
Considering something to be inappropriate which the Shari‘ah has permitted is not a virtue.
(3)
Whoever has a sacrificial animal with him cannot perform Hajj tamattu‘.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
By "Mut‘at al-Hajj" is meant Hajj al-Tamattu‘ and Hajj al-Qiran, because ‘Umar radi Allahu anhu used to encourage Ifrad Hajj, and the discussion regarding Mut‘at al-Nisa’ will come in the chapter of marriage.

1787. Commentary: Performing ‘umrah during the days of Hajj or together with Hajj is permissible without any objection, whereas in the days of ignorance (Jahiliyyah) it was considered a very grave sin.

Urdu Footnote:
➊ "There was no intention of anything else." This was the case in the beginning. In some narrations, it is mentioned that some had assumed the ihram for ‘umrah, then when they approached Makkah Mukarramah, the command for the obligation of ‘umrah was revealed, so at that point, everyone incorporated ‘umrah along with hajj. Then, those who had sacrificial animals remained in the state of ihram, while others, after performing ‘umrah, became lawful (halal) again. They then assumed a separate ihram for hajj. This explanation is preferable because in this way, all the ahadith retain their respective meanings.
➋ "They will be shedding semen." This is said as an exaggeration, meaning that it is not appropriate to have intercourse so close to hajj. These words are mentioned for the purpose of censure; otherwise, they did not have any illness that would cause such a thing. And hajj was to be performed after assuming ihram.
➌ "More righteous than you"—that is, to refrain from an act which I command or which I myself do is foolishness. If that act were blameworthy, I would not command it in the first place.
➍ "Which became known later"—that is, that performing ‘umrah would become obligatory.
➎ "Forever"—that is, tamattu‘ (combining ‘umrah and hajj with a break in between) is permissible until the Day of Judgment.
