The Ruling on Forgetting to Shorten the Hair and Committing Prohibitions of Ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman performed tawaf and sa'y but did not shorten her hair because she forgot, and she committed some of the prohibitions of ihram, such as sexual intercourse and others. Then she remembered that she had not shortened her hair. What is required of her? Does she shorten her hair and owe nothing, or does she owe a sacrificial animal for not shortening her hair and is excused from the prohibitions due to forgetting, or does she owe a sacrificial animal for not shortening her hair and a sacrificial animal for each prohibition? Is there a difference between a long interval and a short one?
Answer:
Shortening the hair is one of the rituals of 'Umrah and is obligatory. She should shorten it whenever she remembers, even if a long time has passed, because the 'Umrah is not complete without shortening the hair. However, if she committed any of the prohibitions of ihram before shortening her hair, sexual intercourse requires a fidyah (ransom payment). She must slaughter a sheep in Makkah for the sexual intercourse, distribute it, and slaughter it in Makkah, distributing it to the poor of the Haram. As for the other prohibitions, such as cutting the nails or plucking some hair, plucking some hair from her body, her private parts, or her head, this is a prohibition among the prohibitions of ihram.
Likewise, perfume; if she applied perfume, this is a prohibition among the prohibitions of ihram. The most cautious course for her is that for every prohibition, she gives charity. She has the choice between slaughtering a sheep and distributing it to the poor in Makkah, or fasting for three days, or feeding six poor people. She has the choice among these three things. As for sexual intercourse, a fidyah is obligatory in it; a fidyah must be slaughtered for it.
