The 'Umrah of one who circumambulated without ablution is not valid

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. From Riyadh, a message was sent by a listener. The sender is Maim Sad al-Sharari. He asks and says: My wife reminded me that she and her mother circumambulated the Sacred House with the intention of 'Umrah without ablution, and they did not inform anyone of this until two years later. What is required of them now? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Their 'Umrah is not valid because they circumambulated without ablution. One of the conditions for the validity of tawaf is that one be in a state of purity from major and minor ritual impurity. Based on this, their 'Umrah is invalid, and their state of ihram remains upon them until now. They must return to Makkah, put on the clothes of ihram as they were, and return to Makkah to perform the 'Umrah: tawaf, sa'y, and shaving or shortening the hair, while maintaining purity during the tawaf. If one of them engaged in sexual intercourse during this period, then he must do what we mentioned: return and perform the 'Umrah that he neglected. Then he must return to the miqat from which he entered ihram for this 'Umrah, and enter ihram from there for a second 'Umrah to make up for this invalid 'Umrah. He must perform it in the prescribed manner: tawaf, sa'y, and shaving or shortening the hair, with purity during the tawaf, and slaughter a sheep as a fidyah (ransom payment) for the prohibited act he committed. If, however, he did not engage in sexual intercourse during this period, then he must do what we mentioned at the beginning of the answer: return promptly, put on the clothes of ihram, and return to Makkah to perform the 'Umrah anew, meaning he must perform tawaf, sa'y, and shave or shorten his hair. This is because the 'Umrah he performed initially, while in a state of impurity during its tawaf, is invalid. Yes.
