Question 4 
 
Is it permissible to do 'Umrah during the months of Hajj ? 
                        Yes,  it is permissible to do 'Umrah during the months of Hajj, and there is no difference  of opinion amongst the scholars concerning that. And it makes no difference  whether you intend to perform Hajj in the same year or not.  
                        The  Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did 'Umrah four times, all  of which were in the month of Dhu'l-Qa'dah, which is one of the months of Hajj,  which are Shawwal, Dhu'l-Qa'dah and Dhu'l-Hijjah. And he did not perform Hajj  except along with his last 'Umrah, in the Farewell Pilgrimage.  
   Imam  Bukhari (May Allah Mercy upon him) and Imam Muslim (May Allah Mercy upon him) reported  from Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (Peace  and Blessings of Allah be upon him) did 'Umrah four times, all of them in  Dhu'l-Qa'dah except for the one which he did with his Hajj. His 'Umrah from  al-Hudaybiyah or at the time of al-Hudaybiyah was in Dhu'l-Qa'dah, his 'Umrah  in the following year was in Dhu'l-Qa'dah, his 'Umrah from Ji'ranah when he divided  the spoils of Hunayn was in Dhu'l-Qa'dah, and his 'Umrah which he did with his  Hajj was also in Dhu'l-Qa'dah".  
                        Al-Nawawi  (May Allah have Mercy on him) said in his commentary: The conclusion we draw  from the reports of Anas and Ibn 'Umar (May Allah Mercy upon them) is that they  both indicate that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) did  four 'Umrahs. The first was in Dhu'l-Qa'dah in the year of al-Hudaybiyah, 6 AH,  when they were prevented from going further so they exited ihram, but this was  counted as an 'Umrah for them. The second was in Dhu'l-Qa'dah in 7 AH, which  was to make up for the previous year. The third was in Dhu'l-Qa'dah of 8 AH,  which was the year of the Conquest of Makkah. And the fourth was with his Hajj,  when he entered ihram for it in Dhu'l-Qa'dah but did the actions of 'Umrah in  Dhu'l-Hijjah. And he said: The scholars said that the Prophet (Peace and Blessings  of Allah be upon him) did 'Umrah in Dhu'l-Qa'dah because of the virtue of this  month and to go against the ideas of the 'Jahiliyyah', because they used to  think that this was one of the worst of evil actions. So he (Peace and Blessings  of Allah be upon him) did it many times in these months to make it definitely  clear that this was permissible and to demonstrate clearly that the beliefs of  the 'Jahiliyyah' were false.
