Is 'Umrah valid without sa'y?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who performed tawaf around the Ka'bah but did not perform sa'y? What is required of him regarding 'Umrah?

Answer:
His 'Umrah is not complete, because 'Umrah consists of entering the state of ihram, which is the intention to enter into the rites, then tawaf around the Ka'bah for seven circuits, then sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah for seven circuits, then shaving the head or shortening the hair. This is 'Umrah. These matters are obligatory, so if one leaves any of them, his 'Umrah is not complete until he performs it.
