The ruling on one who did not shorten his hair after the sa'y in 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! I performed 'Umrah a long time ago and I did not know anything about the rulings of 'Umrah. After I finished the sa'y, I did not shorten any of my hair. Is there anything required of me now regarding this?

Answer:
Yes, you are required now to put on the ihram clothes as they were, and then shorten your hair. Once you have shortened it, you may put on your regular clothes. This is because you are still in the state of ihram, as you did not complete the rituals of 'Umrah. You are still in ihram, and wearing your regular clothes was a mistake. So you must take them off, put on the ihram clothes, and then shorten or shave your head. If you had sexual intercourse during this period, you must offer a fidyah (ransom payment). You must slaughter a fidyah in Makkah and distribute it to the poor of the Haram.
