The ruling on one who leaves the 'Umrah and has intercourse with his wife while she is in the state of ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: A woman went with her husband to perform 'Umrah. When they reached the Haram, they found a crowd, so the man performed 'Umrah and left his wife with their children, fearing for them in the crowd. The woman did not perform 'Umrah. Then they went to their city, knowing that the husband had intercourse with the woman. What is the ruling in this matter?

The Shaykh:
This is the result of not asking. If they had asked the scholars, they would have found the solution. The woman is still in the state of ihram, and while she is in her country, she avoids the prohibitions of ihram. She returns to perform the 'Umrah. If intercourse has taken place, the 'Umrah is defective, but she proceeds with it and completes it. Then she goes with her husband to the miqat from which she first entered the state of ihram, and she enters the state of ihram from there for a new 'Umrah to make up for the defective one. She slaughters a sheep in Makkah and distributes it to the poor. If they had asked from the beginning, they would have been spared these problems. But the affliction is that they act on their own opinion and do not ask. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted and Majestic says:
And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allahوَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
It is obligatory to complete the Hajj if one has entered the state of ihram for it. It is obligatory to complete the 'Umrah if one has entered the state of ihram for it. One must complete it, and it is not permissible to abandon it except in the case of being prevented (ihisar). If one is prevented from the House by an enemy, one exits the state of ihram and slaughters a sheep. As for merely finding difficulty, the difficulty is not permanent. One waits until it goes away. In the last part of the night, or in the middle of the night, the difficulty of the crowd goes away. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
