Question:
He says: A person exposed his left shoulder by mistake, so what is the ruling on the 'Umrah?
Answer:
The 'Umrah is valid, even if he covered all of his shoulders or exposed all of them; the 'Umrah is valid. However, the sunnah (recommended practice) is that in the tawaf (circumambulation) of 'Umrah, he should perform idhtiba' by exposing his right shoulder and covering his left shoulder; this is the sunnah. Yes.
