Question:
The questioner says: An elderly man who is ill stopped at al-Marwah during the fifth lap of the sa'y and cut his hair. What is the ruling? Will this 'Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) be accepted?
Answer:
The ruling is that since he did not complete the 'Umrah, he must complete the seven laps and then shorten his hair after completing the seventh lap. His initial shortening was a mistake. If he does this—completes the seven laps and shortens his hair—his 'Umrah will be complete. Yes.
