The questioner : He asks: What is the ruling on the Hajj of one who entered ihram for Hajj as a mutamatti', performed tawaf and sa'y, but did not shave or shorten his hair; rather, he exited his state of ihram and remained until the eighth of Dhu al-Hijjah, when he entered ihram for Hajj from Jeddah to Mina, and performed the rites completely, including the farewell tawaf? What is required of him in this matter?
The Shaykh : This pilgrim neglected shortening his hair in his 'Umrah, and shortening the hair is among the obligatory acts of 'Umrah. When an obligatory act is neglected, the scholars say that a sacrificial animal must be slaughtered in Mecca and distributed to the poor. Therefore, we say to this pilgrim: It is obligatory for you, according to what the scholars have said, to slaughter a fidyah in Mecca and distribute it to the poor. By doing so, your 'Umrah and your Hajj will be complete.
The questioner : Yes. And what if he is outside Mecca?
The Shaykh : If he is outside Mecca, he should instruct them to slaughter the fidyah for him in Mecca.
The questioner : It must be slaughtered in Mecca?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with the best reward.
