The answer

The Farewell Pilgrimage of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in the tenth year of the Hijra, coincided with the return of the month of Dhul-Hijjah to its original position. This was after the people of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance) used to alter the order of the months by declaring them lawful or unlawful, and by advancing or delaying them, a practice known as An-Nasi' (postponement). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had performed several pilgrimages in Mecca before the Hijra, and he never abandoned the Hajj while he was in Mecca.
