Wearing the Ihram Garments Before Shortening the Hair in 'Umrah

Question:
Abu 'Abd al-Hadi from Abha, please, Abu 'Abd al-Hadi. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. I performed 'Umrah, and after I finished, I wanted to shave my head. It was late at night, and I went out looking for a barber, but there was only one and a crowd. I went out and gave my place to my master, the resident. After I exited the state of ihram, I remembered that I had not shaved or shortened my hair after exiting the state of ihram.

Answer:
You made a mistake in this obligatory matter. You should have put on your ihram garments again, then shortened your hair, and then put on your ihram garments after you were done with the shortening or shaving. Because the 'Umrah had not ended yet, and the state of ihram had not ended yet, how could you wear your clothes? So you made a mistake in this, but we hope that Allah will forgive you, and your 'Umrah is valid, if Allah wills. Yes. Also, if you were forgetful or ignorant, then there is nothing on you. But if you did it intentionally, then you owe the expiation for wearing [clothes], yes.
