The ruling on one who removes his ihram garments and has intercourse with his wife during 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A man went to perform 'Umrah with his wife during these days. He says that when he saw the crowd, he removed his ihram, put on sewn clothes, and went to Yanbu', and he had intercourse with his wife. What is obligatory for him in this situation?
Answer:
I mean, there is no opportunity here except this hour; he should be patient for a while and the crowd will disperse. Be patient and wait, and the crowd will disperse. One does not remove the ihram; one does not remove the ihram unless something prevents him, and he made a condition when entering ihram: He does not remove it except with this condition. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: [Al-Baqarah 2:196] Complete it. One must complete the Hajj and 'Umrah if one has entered ihram for them. One does not exit them except by performing the rituals. It is not up to your whim to remove it and leave. So he made a mistake. The obligatory thing for him is that he puts back the ihram garments because he is still in a state of ihram. He puts back the ihram garments and goes to Makkah and performs the 'Umrah, completing it until he exits his state of ihram. Then he returns to the miqat.
And he enters ihram for a second 'Umrah to make up for the invalid 'Umrah, and he performs it, and he slaughters a sheep for the intercourse. This is necessary among these matters. And all of this, if he had asked from the beginning, he would have been spared from these matters. But now, due to ignorance and lack of concern, he fell into these matters. Three things are required: that he puts back the ihram garments in any place, even at the farthest point of the world, he puts back the ihram garments because he is in a state of ihram. And his wife also must adhere to the ihram. And they go to Makkah and perform the 'Umrah, which is invalid, and then they exit from it. And they go to the miqat from which he entered ihram the first time, and they enter ihram for a new 'Umrah to make up for the invalid 'Umrah. And each of them slaughters a sheep in Makkah and distributes it to the poor as a ransom for the intercourse. Yes.

If something prevents me, I will stop where I am prevented
فإن حبسني حابس أمحلي حيث حبستنيAnd complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allah
