Covering the head after tawaf and sa'y before shaving
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I went to perform 'Umrah, and after I had finished. I went to perform 'Umrah, and after I had finished the tawaf and sa'y, I fell ill, so I went to the hotel and slept, and I covered my head with a blanket. Is my 'Umrah valid, given that I did not shave my head until after I had finished sleeping, and I had my head covered?
Answer:
Your 'Umrah is valid, but you committed one of the prohibitions of ihram, namely covering the head. You owe a fidyah (ransom payment), and you have a choice in it: you may feed six poor people, or fast for three days, or slaughter a sheep and distribute it to the poor.
