The woman who lost her husband during the Sa'y and then performed 'Umrah afterwards

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I ask Allah for your sake. A woman circumambulated with her husband during the Sa'y and lost him. I say: a woman, I think she is asking you, went with her husband as a pilgrim for 'Umrah.

The Shaykh:
Like Hajj and 'Umrah.

The questioner:
She was on 'Umrah and lost him during the Sa'y, and then she did not complete her Sa'y and performed several 'Umrahs afterwards. What is required of her?

The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for her to go and complete the Sa'y of the 'Umrah that is upon her, considering it as part of this 'Umrah.

The questioner:
Yes, indeed. She performed 'Umrah. What is it? May Allah preserve you? She performed 'Umrah. What is it? May Allah preserve you?

The Shaykh:
The most likely, and Allah knows best, is that the first 'Umrah she performed after the first 'Umrah completes it; because her Sa'y for the new 'Umrah completed the previous 'Umrah, and her shortening of hair and exiting the state of ihram with it made the second 'Umrah a completion of the first 'Umrah. As for the other 'Umrah, it is in its proper state and there is nothing wrong with it.

The questioner:
Hajj. May Allah reward you. The Sa'y in Hajj.

The Shaykh:
If she did not perform 'Umrah after the first 'Umrah, the Sa'y in the second 'Umrah completed the first 'Umrah, because she was still responsible for the first 'Umrah. So her Sa'y in the second one completes the first, and her shortening of hair released her from the first. She exited the state of ihram for two 'Umrahs in one. So her Sa'y and shortening of hair resulted in her exiting the state of ihram, and her last 'Umrah remains as it is. If her husband had intercourse with her, she has to pay the fidyah (ransom payment) of a sacrificial animal, and she has to make up the 'Umrah in which he had intercourse with her. If she performed 'Umrah afterwards, it becomes a make-up for the 'Umrah from the miqat (boundary) from which she entered the state of ihram for the first one. It becomes a make-up for the 'Umrah if she performed an 'Umrah after the intercourse. If she did not perform anything, she has to perform a new 'Umrah, as the Companions did in this case.

Another questioner:
But, may Allah reward you, is it a condition that she intends to make up this 'Umrah?

The Shaykh:
Even if, even if, because the meaning is the same, the meaning is the same.

The questioner:
And the same applies if, if, he was in the Sa'y of Hajj and then performed 'Umrah.

The Shaykh:
With yesterday, yes.

The questioner:
Like if he was in the Sa'y of Hajj and then performed 'Umrah afterwards. If this was in the time of Hajj. Then she performed 'Umrah.

The Shaykh:
So this is a place of error, because we are not facing Hajj, we are facing 'Umrah. It may be said that she has to perform Sa'y in the next 'Umrah in its proper state, because she has already exited the state of ihram for the first one, and she has to perform Sa'y with the intention of Hajj.
