Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman in the state of ihram was suffering from an allergy and was scratching her body during the 'Umrah. She finished the 'Umrah, and a person told her that the 'Umrah was not valid. So she went out and entered the state of ihram again. After the tawaf, she asked another person, and he told her that her tawaf was a voluntary one. What is the correct ruling?
Answer:
The one who told her that the 'Umrah was not valid is ignorant, and it is not permissible for him to issue a fatwa without knowledge. It is not permissible for a person to issue a fatwa without knowledge. The questioner should have asked the people of knowledge, not the ignorant.
Her 'Umrah is valid, and it is permissible for a person in ihram to scratch his body, but gently — he scratches it gently — so that no hair falls out. If some hair falls out unintentionally, there is nothing wrong with it. As for her second ihram, it is an ihram for another 'Umrah, and she is required to complete the other 'Umrah with tawaf, sa'y, and shortening the hair. She will have the reward of two 'Umrahs, if Allah wills. Yes.
