What is the ruling for a woman who performed 'Umrah and forgot to shorten her hair?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I performed 'Umrah with my mother and my wife. After the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), I told them to shorten their hair at home, but they have forgotten until now, and they have already taken off their clothes. What is obligatory for them?

Answer:
Women do not have specific clothes for ihram (the consecrated state of pilgrimage); that is for men, the izar (loincloth) and the rida (upper garment). As for women, they enter ihram in their clothes, except for the burqu' (face veil), the niqab (face veil), and the gloves. As for the clothes, they may wear whatever they wish. So they must shorten their hair; they must hasten to shorten their hair. As for the clothes, they have no bearing on women. Yes.
