One who enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah, leaves off the sa'y, and returns

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah with his wife and his children. When they began the sa'y, his children stopped and did not complete it. They finished their 'Umrah and returned to their country. What is obligatory for them?

Answer:
It is obligatory for him to return with them and have them perform the sa'y again, and to shorten their hair, because they are in a state of ihram; they are still in ihram. Once the ihram is established, a person does not exit it except by performing the rites. Allah the Exalted said:
And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allahوَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
So it is obligatory for you, who are the one who knows how to guide them, how did you allow them to do this? You must return with them now so they can complete their 'Umrah, and you must keep them away from the prohibitions of ihram, because they are still in a state of ihram. Yes.
