The ruling on one who shaves before 'Umrah and does not shorten the hair

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I performed 'Umrah and exited the state of ihram, but I did not shorten my hair; because I shaved in Riyadh a week ago. Is my 'Umrah valid, or what? And what is required of me?

Answer:
If there is nothing on your head, the 'Umrah is complete; there is no need to shave or wash it. If the hair on your head has grown back entirely, all of it, then there is no issue; the 'Umrah is complete. Then you enter the state of ihram for Hajj today, and you fast for Hajj today, praise be to Allah.
