A man performed 'Umrah but did not complete it, then returned to his hometown and got married!!!

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, a person came from Jeddah to perform 'Umrah, and he completed the tawaf. After that, he went to al-Safa and al-Marwah, and he completed only three rounds. Due to the heavy crowd, he went out to Jeddah and did not return to complete the 'Umrah, out of ignorance and under the belief that he owed nothing. So he continued with his life and got married. What is the solution to this problem? And is the 'Umrah... this is a case

The Shaykh : that was upon him yesterday.

The questioner : How?

The Shaykh : that has not passed us by?

The questioner : This is different from that.

The Shaykh : Yes. All right, a woman and one man.

The questioner : This is because he went later and did not return later.

The Shaykh : The point is this issue. It is that if a person begins Hajj or 'Umrah, even if it is voluntary, it is obligatory for him to complete them.
As for voluntary acts other than Hajj and 'Umrah, such as prayer, charity, and fasting, if a person begins them, he has the choice between completing them or stopping.
And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allahوَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
And this was before Hajj was made obligatory, because this verse was revealed in the sixth year at al-Hudaybiyyah, and Hajj was made obligatory in the ninth year of the Hijrah. So, regarding the one who began the 'Umrah, performed three rounds of tawaf, and due to the crowd went out to his hometown and did not complete the 'Umrah, we tell him that he is still in 'Umrah now, so none of the prohibitions of ihram are permissible for him, and it is obligatory for him to return to Makkah to perform tawaf anew, perform sa'y, and shorten his hair, and he does not renew the ihram because he is still in a state of ihram. It is obligatory for him immediately to remove his clothes and be present to perform tawaf, sa'y, and shorten his hair, because he is still in a state of worship. As for his marriage that took place after that, it is a marriage that is not valid; rather, it is a defective marriage, and it is obligatory for him to separate from his wife until the marriage contract is renewed for him. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one in ihram does not marry, and is not married." And this man was in ihram, and he got married while in ihram, so the contract is not valid. It is obligatory for him now to separate from his wife and renew the contract, and there is no need for a waiting period ('iddah), but rather the contract is renewed for him immediately, and his wife returns to him. If his wife became pregnant from him, the child is his, because this pregnancy resulted from intercourse based on a doubt. And due to the Shari'ah's care for preserving lineage, the child resulting from intercourse based on a doubt is considered the child of the one who had intercourse. So let this questioner be careful and hasten to abandon the prohibitions of ihram until he completes his 'Umrah. Leave it with you, leave it with you. Yes.
