The ruling on one who forgets to shorten the hair after 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My mother and I performed 'Umrah, and after finishing the 'Umrah, we both forgot to shorten our hair. Please inform us what is required of us. May Allah reward you.
Answer:
If you remember, shorten [your hair]; if you remember, shorten [your hair]. Praise be to Allah. If you have already entered the state of ihram for Hajj before shortening your hair, it is better that you slaughter an animal as expiation for leaving off the shortening, because it is an act of worship that you left off, and it is an obligatory part of the 'Umrah. But if you remembered before entering the state of ihram for Hajj, shorten [your hair] and then enter the state of ihram for Hajj. Praise be to Allah.
