The ruling on the 'Umrah of a young girl who did not complete the sa'y

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We performed 'Umrah in Ramadan, and with us was a young girl who had not reached puberty. She performed the tawaf and the sa'y, but she did not complete the sa'y; she only did three rounds and did not finish. Then she shortened her hair. Is her 'Umrah valid? And if her 'Umrah is not valid, does she owe anything? I ask for clarification. May Allah reward you.

Answer:
Complete it for her, and that is sufficient. She completes the sa'y and repeats the shortening of the hair, and her 'Umrah is complete, and praise be to Allah. It is not an obligatory 'Umrah, but since she started it, teach her to complete it. It is not one of the obligatory matters now; she was not obligated to do it until later. But since you brought her into the state of 'Umrah, she must complete it, and then repeat the shortening of the hair. Do we answer her that she owes a 'Umrah? It is not obligatory. The obligatory acts have not become required of her up to this point, but if she repeats it and completes it, that is better and more excellent. Yes.
