The ruling on forgetting to shorten the hair after 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Umm Ahmad, says: My brother and I performed 'Umrah, and he was my mahram (a relative one may not marry). We returned to our city and did not shorten our hair. What should we do now?

Answer:
It is obligatory to shorten the hair, and the ritual of Hajj or 'Umrah is not completed except by shaving or shortening the hair. If you forgot, you must put on the ihram clothes in the place where you are. Even if you have left Makkah, you put on the ihram clothes, then you shave or shorten the hair, and then you come out of ihram by wearing your usual clothes. If intercourse took place before you shaved or shortened the hair, you are required to pay the fidyah (a ransom payment), because you must slaughter a fidyah in the Haram (the sacred precinct) of Makkah and distribute it to the poor, because you committed a prohibited act before completing your rituals. Yes.
