What is the ruling on the one performing tamattu' who forgets to shave or shorten his hair, and does not shave or shorten until the day of 'Id, and this is regarding 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, it is the safer course. Of course, if he was performing qiran, there is nothing on him, but if he pays the fidyah, it is the safer course. If he performed the tawaf and sa'y and did not shorten his hair, and he is performing tamattu', and he did not shorten his hair, this constitutes a neglect of an obligation of the 'Umrah, which is shaving or shortening the hair. If he pays the fidyah for it, it is the safer course, if Allah wills, and it is more honorable and clears his conscience, because he left an obligation, an obligation of the 'Umrah.
