What is the ruling on a woman who performed the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) for only six rounds, then shortened her hair and traveled?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman performed the sa'y for only six rounds, shortened her hair, and then returned to Riyadh. She is currently engaged. Is it permissible to finalize the marriage contract with her?

The Shaykh:
No, her 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) is not complete. She must return to complete her 'Umrah and shorten her hair, and then she may marry. Yes.

The presenter:
He says she performed the sa'y for six rounds, so what should she do? He says she must complete her 'Umrah.

The Shaykh:
She returns, she returns and performs the sa'y.

The presenter:
Six rounds.

The Shaykh:
Yes, she returns and performs the sa'y again from the beginning. Since the continuity was broken, she performs the sa'y again for seven rounds and shortens her hair to exit the state of ihram (the consecrated state of pilgrimage) from her 'Umrah. Yes.

The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
The prohibitions of ihram apply to her because she is still in the state of ihram. Yes.
