Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: I went out to perform 'Umrah for my mother from al-Tan'im, but when I was in the tawaf on Friday, I was unable to continue because of my heart condition. What is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh:
The ruling is that you must complete the 'Umrah. Once you entered the state of ihram, the 'Umrah became obligatory upon you. Your ihram remains in effect until now. You must hasten to perform the tawaf, the sa'y, and shave or shorten your hair to complete the 'Umrah. Yes.
The questioner:
The questioner clarifies his question, saying: I have already exited the state of ihram after this.
The Shaykh:
You have not exited it. If you exited, the ihram remains upon you. One does not exit the state of ihram until he has performed the rites. He must put the ihram clothes back on, just as they were, and perform the 'Umrah, because he was ignorant. So he must hasten to put the ihram clothes back on, avoid the prohibitions of ihram, and perform the 'Umrah. Yes.
