The ruling on accepting the statement of Abu Bakr and 'Umar regarding changing Hajj to 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Stop, O Abu al-Shaykh, may Allah love you. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Khulafa'بسنتي وسنة الخلفاء الراشدين
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2676Sahih (Darussalam)
So why is the statement of Abu Bakr and 'Umar regarding changing Hajj to 'Umrah not accepted?

Answer:
Because it was their independent legal reasoning (ijtihad), and it contradicts what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. It seems they thought—meaning, some among them held the view—that the command to change Hajj to 'Umrah was specific to those who were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They saw this as specific to those who performed Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, the correct view is that it is not specific; rather, it is general for the Muslim community until the Hour stands. Yes.
