The ruling on the one performing tamattu' who forgets to shave or shorten his hair

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling for a person performing tamattu' who forgets to shave or shorten his hair and does not shave or shorten it until the day of 'Id al-Adha, in the case of Hajj? What is the ruling for a person performing tamattu' who forgets to shave or shorten his hair and does not shave or shorten it until the day of 'Id al-Adha, in the case of Hajj?

Answer:
If he pays the fidyah, that is the safer course, because shortening the hair is obligatory in the 'Umrah. If he pays the fidyah, that is the safer course. Some people do not consider it a qiran, nor do they seek to address it, but if he pays the fidyah, that is the safer course. If he performed the tawaf and sa'y but did not shorten his hair, and he is a person performing tamattu', and he did not shorten his hair, this constitutes a neglect of an obligatory part of the 'Umrah, which is shaving or shortening the hair. If he pays the fidyah for it, that is the safer course, if Allah wills, and it is safer and clears his conscience, because he left an obligatory part of the 'Umrah. Yes.
