Forgetting the two rak'ahs of tawaf, shortening the hair, and using a scented handkerchief
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner says: I forgot the two rak'ahs of tawaf after I had circumambulated the House a week ago, and I also forgot to shorten my hair after sa'y, forgetting it. What should I do now, given that my wife used a scented handkerchief before she shortened her hair?
The Shaykh:
As for the two rak'ahs of tawaf, they are a recommended practice (sunnah). If you left them off, you owe nothing; you owe nothing, because they are a recommended practice. As for shortening the hair, it is a rite of Hajj or 'Umrah. It is not required to be done immediately after sa'y; it is permissible to delay it, but you must observe the state of ihram and avoid the prohibitions of ihram, because you are still in ihram. So you delay it, but you must observe the avoidance of the prohibitions of ihram until you shorten your hair, in any place?
The questioner:
My wife used a scented handkerchief before she shortened her hair.
The Shaykh:
If she did not intend this, she owes nothing, or if she was ignorant. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, and bless you, and make your knowledge beneficial, and reward you, and give you the best reward. May Allah thank you for your concern, your attendance, and your enrichment of this blessed course, and may Allah send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad.
The Shaykh:
Allah.
