When I finished my 'Umrah, I shortened the hair of my sons and forgot myself, and I did not remember until after exiting the state of ihram. What is required of me in this?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe. I performed 'Umrah with the children. Yes. At the end of the sa'y, when it came to shortening the hair, I shortened the hair of all the children and forgot myself, and I exited the state of ihram. After I exited, I remembered that I had not shortened my hair. Do I have to shorten it? Is there anything required of me in this?
The Shaykh : There is nothing required of you.
The questioner : There is nothing required of me.
The Shaykh : Yes, meaning, if a person forgets to shorten his hair.
The questioner : I have already exited the state of ihram.
The Shaykh : He does not shorten it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If he remembers, let him put on the clothes of ihram and shorten his hair while wearing the clothes of ihram.
The questioner : I exited the state of ihram and put on my clothes, and after I realized that I had not shortened my hair, I went back and shortened it while I was wearing my clothes.
The Shaykh : If you did not know that it is necessary to take them off.
The questioner : Yes, I know that I do not exit the state of ihram until I shorten my hair, so I shortened the hair of the children. I was holding the scissors and shortened it for all of them and forgot myself.
The Shaykh : I say that what happened to you, what happened to you now, there is nothing in it, there is nothing required of you.
The questioner : Okay, the world, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I am teaching you now for the future.
The questioner : The evidence, there is evidence for that.
The Shaykh : And it is His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:286].
The questioner : Yes, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : But in the future, if you forget and you are wearing your clothes, take off the clothes and shorten your hair while wearing the clothes of ihram.
The questioner : Put on the clothes of ihram, put on the clothes of ihram, and then?
The Shaykh : You take off your clothes immediately.
The questioner : And put on the ihram.
The Shaykh : And you wear the ihram.
The questioner : And shorten, and I return a second time in my clothes. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
The questioner : May Allah bless you and all of you. Thank you, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : You did not say the salam.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
