What is the ruling on a woman whose husband had intercourse with her before she shortened her hair for 'Umrah, while she was forgetful?

The questioner : The questioner says: A woman performed 'Umrah, she circumambulated and walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and she went home without shortening her hair because she forgot. Her husband was traveling, so he returned and slept with her, and she was also forgetful. Then she remembered afterward. Does she owe a ransom payment?

The Shaykh : She does not owe a ransom payment. The answer for this woman is that her husband arrived from his journey and she had performed 'Umrah, but she had not shortened her hair. So her husband had intercourse with her before she shortened her hair. We say in this case that she owes nothing as long as she was forgetful. However, if she had been remembering, it is obligatory for her to prevent her husband from doing so until she shortens her hair, because it is not permissible for her husband to have intercourse with her unless her rites are completed. Before that, it is not permissible for her to allow him to have intercourse with her or to touch her.
