In His saying, the Exalted: (So whoever combines the lesser pilgrimage with the major pilgrimage), does this include the one who combines them?

The questioner : Khalid: In His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Baqarah 2:196] The one who combines them is not included in this explicitly, because "to" indicates a limit, and the lesser pilgrimage is separate from the major pilgrimage. It is well known that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj as one who combines them. 'Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) combined the lesser pilgrimage with the major pilgrimage." The Companions are the most knowledgeable of creation regarding interpretation after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So from this, it is in its proper place.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is in its proper place, but they use the term "combining" for the one who combines them by way of approximation, because the lesser pilgrimage in the case of combining becomes, along with the major pilgrimage, in one journey. So it resembles the lesser pilgrimage that precedes the major pilgrimage, so they called it "combining."
The questioner : Khalid: And the wording of His saying:?
The Shaykh : Yes, combining by attaching it to the major pilgrimage.
