A husband having intercourse with his wife while she is in the state of ihram for 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: A woman intended to perform 'Umrah from her hometown. When she arrived in the Jeddah province, she went to her husband's house because she was tired from the journey. Then her husband had intercourse with her. What is required of her?

The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.

The questioner:
The woman intended to perform 'Umrah from her hometown. When she arrived in the Jeddah province, she went to her husband's house because she was tired from the journey. Then her husband had intercourse with her.

The Shaykh:
That is, she entered the state of ihram from the miqat. When she came from her town, she entered ihram from the miqat. She came in the state of ihram and went to her husband's house, and he had intercourse with her while she was in ihram. This is a mistake and is forbidden. It is not permissible for him to have intercourse with her while she is in ihram. Her 'Umrah becomes invalid. If he has intercourse with her while she is in ihram, the 'Umrah becomes invalid. She must proceed with it and complete it, then return to the miqat and enter ihram for a new 'Umrah. She brings it to complete the previous one and slaughters a fidyah (ransom payment) for the intercourse. However, if she came from the miqat without having entered ihram, and he had intercourse with her before she entered ihram, there is nothing wrong with that. She is required to return to the miqat and enter ihram from there. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
