Performing عمرہ in Shawwal is permissible and carries great reward. نبی کریم performed his عمرہs outside of Shawwal, but his companions performed عمرہ in Shawwal. A حاجی who performs عمرہ in Shawwal and then performs حج in the same season is considered a mutamatti' (performing حج tamattu') and must offer a sacrifice.
Performing عمرہ in Shawwal is permissible, virtuous, and was practiced by the Companions. Shawwal is one of the designated حج months (Shawwal, Dhul Qa'dah, and the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah), and performing عمرہ during these months is the Sunnah of the Companions. A حاجی who performs عمرہ in Shawwal and intends to perform حج in the same year becomes a mutamatti', performing حج tamattu', and is required to offer a sacrifice (hady).
Sheikh Ibn Baz stated that عمرہ in Shawwal is one of the best forms of عمرہ because it falls within the حج months and can be combined with حج as tamattu'. He mentioned that نبی کریم (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) commanded his companions during the Farewell حج to convert their حج to عمرہ and then perform حج separately — this occurred in the حج months, demonstrating the virtue of this practice.
Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen explained that if a person performs عمرہ in Shawwal and then returns to his country before coming back for حج, scholars differ on whether he is still considered a mutamatti'. The majority hold that returning home between عمرہ and حج breaks the tamattu' connection, meaning he would not owe a sacrifice. However, if he remains in مکہ مکرمہ or performs حج without returning home, the tamattu' connection remains and the sacrifice is واجب.

نبی کریم (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) told his companions to make their حج into عمرہ (during the حج months), and he said: 'If I had known beforehand what I know now, I would not have brought a sacrificial animal, and I would have made it an عمرہ.'

Scholars from different schools of Islamic jurisprudence offer varying perspectives on this matter.
عمرہ in Shawwal is valid and carries the same reward as عمرہ in other months. If followed by حج, the حاجی is performing tamattu' and owes a sacrifice.
Al-Hidayah: عمرہ in the حج months followed by حج constitutes tamattu'.
عمرہ in Shawwal is permissible. The Maliki school actually considers عمرہ in the حج months to be makruh for those not intending حج, as it was not the frequent practice of نبی کریم.
Al-Mudawwanah: Imam Malik disliked عمرہ in the حج months unless followed by حج.
عمرہ in Shawwal is permissible and valid. If followed by حج in the same year, it is tamattu' and the حاجی owes a sacrifice.
Al-Majmu' by al-Nawawi: عمرہ in the حج months is valid and may constitute tamattu'.
عمرہ in Shawwal is مستحب, especially if the person intends حج in the same year. Tamattu' is the preferred form of حج in the Hanbali school.
Al-Mughni by Ibn Qudamah: tamattu' (عمرہ then حج) is the best form of حج.
