Question:
A man completed his 'Umrah after finishing the fourth circuit of tawaf without making a condition, because he suffered severe fatigue, so he removed his ihram garments. What should he do? And is it permissible to make a condition for 'Umrah? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Making a condition is permissible when entering ihram, so that one says, "If something prevents me, my place of exiting ihram is where I am prevented." This is if he fears not completing the rites, because he is ill or unable and fears not completing the rites, then he may make a condition. However, if he is healthy and strong, he does not make a condition. But when a person enters ihram for the rites, it is obligatory for him to complete them. Allah the Exalted said, "And complete the Hajj and 'Umrah for Allah." And He the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:197] meaning: I have made obligatory.
So when a person enters ihram for the rites, it is obligatory for him to perform them, and it is not permissible for him to exit ihram before completing his rites, except if, as we mentioned, he feared not completing them when entering ihram and made a condition, saying, "If something prevents me, my place of exiting ihram is where I am prevented." If that preventing factor that he conditioned upon occurs, he exits ihram when it happens, and he owes nothing. But as long as he did not make a condition, it is not permissible for him to exit ihram; rather, he remains in his ihram until he performs the rites. Even if an unexpected event or illness befalls him, he remains in his ihram and waits until that unexpected event is removed, then he exits ihram for the 'Umrah and performs the rites. This is what the questioner mentioned: that he had no excuse, and that he was merely tired in the fourth circuit of tawaf, so he invalidated the 'Umrah and exited his ihram. This is a mistake, and he does not exit ihram. The ihram remains upon him, and even if he rejects it, he does not come out of it. He must return to Makkah and perform the 'Umrah that he rejected by completing its rites: tawaf, sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shaving or shortening the hair. His obligation is not lifted except by this. And if he engaged in sexual intercourse during this period, he proceeds with the 'Umrah as we mentioned and completes it. Then he returns to the miqat from which he entered ihram, then enters ihram for a second 'Umrah, making up a second 'Umrah as compensation for the invalid 'Umrah that he invalidated with sexual intercourse. Then he performs its rites and slaughters a fidyah, which is a sheep that is acceptable for the 'Id sacrifice, and he distributes it among
