Question:
In the sa'y of 'Umrah. We combined Hajj and 'Umrah (tamattu'), starting from al-Safa and walking from the first lap to the sixth lap, and we cut our hair there, thinking it was the seventh lap. But it turned out to be the sixth, not the seventh. So we walked one more lap and cut our hair after that. Do we owe anything?
Answer:
Yes, as long as you completed the sa'y, praise be to Allah. And since your first cutting was a mistake due to ignorance, there is nothing wrong with it. As long as you cut your hair after the seventh lap, after you had completed the seventh lap, you have performed the ritual. The first cutting was a mistake and an error, and there is nothing wrong with it.
