The ruling on one who forgot to shave his head during 'Umrah and put on his clothes!!

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon the noblest of the prophets and messengers, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.

The questioner : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, a man forgot to shave or shorten his hair, intending to shorten it at home, intending to shorten it at home, then he forgot that, and he exited the state of ihram, then he remembered on the second day of the 'Umrah. What is required of him? I ask for the answer, for we are confused about the matter, and may Allah reward you with the best reward. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The Shaykh : Shaving the head in 'Umrah or shortening the hair, and likewise in Hajj, the most correct of the scholars' opinions is that it is obligatory. Based on this most correct opinion, if a person leaves it off intentionally, two things result from leaving it: the first is sin, and the second is the fidyah (ransom payment), which, as the scholars said, is a sheep to be slaughtered in Makkah and distributed to the poor. As for if a person leaves it off out of forgetfulness, one thing results for him, which is the fidyah, to be slaughtered in Makkah and distributed to the poor, if he left it off. But if he remembers while he is in Makkah, and he shaves or shortens, then he owes nothing. However, if he remembers and he is wearing his clothes, meaning he has taken off the clothes of ihram, then it is obligatory for him to take off the clothes and put on the clothes of ihram.

The presenter : Because until now he has not exited the state of ihram. The answer now is: as for the one who forgot to shave or shorten his hair in 'Umrah and put on his clothes, we tell him what? If he remembers, we say: put on the clothes of ihram, take off the clothes you put on, and put on the clothes of ihram, and shave or shorten, and you owe nothing. Yes.
