Chapter on Performing ʿumrah During the Months of Hajj
وَ سَأَلَهُ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ: عَنِ اَلْمَمْلُوكِ يَكُونُ فِي اَلظَّهْرِ يَرْعَى وَ هُوَ يَرْضَى أَنْ يَعْتَمِرَ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجَ فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ اِعْتَمَرَ فِي ذِي اَلْقَعْدَةِ فَحَسَنٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي ذِي اَلْحِجَّةِ فَلاَ يَصْلُحُ إِلاَّ اَلْحَجُّ ».
Abdullah ibn Sinan asked Imam عليه السلام about a servant who is out grazing animals and agrees to perform Umrah and then leave. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he performed Umrah in Dhu al-Qa'dah, it is good. But if it is in Dhu al-Hijjah, then it is not suitable except for Hajj."
