The ruling on shortening the hair for 'Umrah outside Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is the last question. A woman says: I performed 'Umrah and forgot to shorten my hair. What is the ruling, and she is now outside Makkah?
Answer:
It is done in any place, because shortening the hair or shaving it for 'Umrah or Hajj is not restricted to a specific place; it is permissible in every place. So she should hasten to shorten her hair, because shortening is specified for the woman. She should hasten to shorten her hair in her home in her country. However, if she had intercourse before shortening her hair, she is required to pay a fidyah (ransom payment); she slaughters it in Makkah and distributes it to the poor of the Haram. But if she did not have intercourse, she is only required to hasten to shorten her hair.
