Question:
A questioner says: I performed 'Umrah with my brothers, but some of my brothers did not complete their 'Umrah because they got lost while performing it, so they did not finish it until this day, and more than three days have passed. Knowing that some of them are young and some are adults, what is the ruling? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The ruling is that the state of ihram for 'Umrah remains upon them until they perform it. It is obligatory for them to perform the 'Umrah, including the tawaf, the sa'y, and shaving or shortening the hair. Even if they got lost and days have passed, the 'Umrah remains upon them and the ihram remains upon them. Whenever it becomes easy for them, they should perform the 'Umrah. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] And if they had exited the state of ihram, they must re-enter the prohibitions of ihram, because 'Umrah is not something to be rejected, and it is not permissible to reject the ihram except by performing its rituals. They must put on the clothes of ihram, avoid the prohibitions of ihram, and perform the 'Umrah. Yes.
