A pilgrim who has not yet completed the second tahallul is prohibited from performing umrah, because the hajj rites are not yet complete.

Summary
A pilgrim who has not yet completed the second tahallul is prohibited from performing umrah, because the hajj rites are not yet complete. Umrah performed at that stage is considered invalid in Islamic law even if carried out properly. Those who wish to combine hajj and umrah may choose hajj qiran. The ruling advises completing the hajj rites first to avoid overlapping the two acts of worship, which could lead to a penalty (dam).
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, umrah yang dilaksanakan oleh jemaah tersebut sekalipun sempurna dikira tidak sah menurut syarak.
