Did the polytheists perform Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) deviation from the polytheists in departing from Muzdalifah evidence that polytheists performed Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in that year?

Answer:
No, that was in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). As for the polytheists, they did not perform Hajj after the revelation of their saying,
O you who have believed, indeed the polytheists are unclean, so let them not approach al-Masjid al-Haram after this, theirأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا يَقْرَبُوا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ
[At-Tawbah 9:28]
they were prevented, but this is regarding the past; the past ones were opposed so as not to revive the practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance.
