Shortening the hair for 'Umrah by a few strands, the expiation, and the place of slaughter

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, thank you. A person performed 'Umrah. When it came time to shave, he did not shave, but rather took a few strands from the sides and the front. He then traveled to al-Ta'if and spent the night there, and in the morning he shaved his head. It is known that he had sexual intercourse and exited the state of ihram. What is required of him?

The Shaykh:
If he took a lot of hair from the sides of his head, that is sufficient. But if he only took one or two strands, that is not sufficient. His 'Umrah is not valid; this is not sufficient, and he owes an expiation. He must shorten the hair from his head, and he owes an expiation: he must slaughter a sheep. His 'Umrah is valid, if Allah wills. He owes an expiation: he must slaughter a sheep in Makkah.

The questioner:
If he owes a blood sacrifice, is it sufficient for him to slaughter it in Riyadh?

The Shaykh:
No, the slaughter must be in Makkah, for the poor of the Haram. It is not slaughtered in al-Ta'if, nor in Riyadh, nor in Jeddah, nor in any other place. It must be inside the Haram, and distributed to the poor of the Haram. The slaughter and the feeding must be in the Haram. As for shortening and shaving, that is permissible in any place.

The questioner:
That is possible.

The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family.
