Question:
The questioner says: My wife and I performed 'Umrah. At the end of the 'Umrah, after I had exited the state of ihram, we had intercourse. My wife had not exited the state of ihram, yes. My wife had not exited the state of ihram because she had not cut her hair, having forgotten, and she did not remember until after the intercourse, so she cut it afterward. What is the ruling?
Answer:
Yes, cutting the hair is obligatory, because the 'Umrah is not completed except by cutting from her head. For the intercourse, there is a fidyah (ransom payment) that serves as its substitute. She slaughters a fidyah in Makkah and distributes it to the poor of the Haram. Her 'Umrah is valid. Yes.
