The ruling on one who exits the state of ihram from her 'Umrah by clipping her nails without shortening her hair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: A sister performed the tawaf and sa'y for 'Umrah, exited her state of ihram, and clipped one of her nails, but did not shorten her hair. Does she owe anything?
The Shaykh:
Did she perform Hajj after this, or before Hajj?
The questioner:
He says: She performed the tawaf and sa'y for 'Umrah, exited her state of ihram, and clipped one of the nails.
The Shaykh:
Shortening the hair is necessary; the exit from ihram is not completed except by shortening the hair. She shortened her hair. If this was before Hajj and her 'Umrah was not completed, she must offer a sacrifice for leaving off the shortening if she entered the state of ihram for Hajj afterwards and did not shorten her hair, and she is performing tamattu' with the 'Umrah. However, if she was performing qiran and exited her state of ihram out of ignorance, she owes nothing. As for if she intended to exit the state of ihram and perform 'Umrah alone and left off the shortening, she must offer a sacrifice for leaving off the shortening because it is an obligatory act of worship in 'Umrah. However, if she was ignorant, and she performed both 'Umrah and Hajj and exited her state of ihram out of ignorance, she owes nothing. In other words, ignorance is an excuse in this case. She exited her state of ihram thinking it was permissible for her, so that is fine. For example, if she clipped her back out of ignorance, she owes nothing.
