The Ruling on Delaying the Shaving of the Head in 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
His final question says: A man performed 'Umrah and forgot to shave his head until about a week later. What is the ruling in this case?
The Shaykh:
The ruling in this case is that he should shorten his hair, or shave it, even if a period of time has passed, because this is obligatory, as it is one of the rituals of 'Umrah, so he must perform it. If he had intercourse with his wife, he must expiate by slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor, and his 'Umrah is valid. However, if he did not have intercourse, it is sufficient for him to shorten his hair and fulfill the obligation. Yes.
The questioner:
Does he have to wear the ihram garments?
The Shaykh:
Yes, he must renew his ihram as it was when he was performing tawaf and sa'y. He must put on the ihram garments again and then shorten his hair while wearing the ihram garments. Yes.
