Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My wife and I performed 'Umrah. I shaved my head, but my wife did not shorten her hair because she forgot. Intercourse took place, and during the intercourse, my wife remembered that she had not shortened her hair, so she hurried to shorten it. Does she have to pay a blood sacrifice or not? Knowing that she was forgetful. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, she has to pay a fidyah (ransom payment). She has to pay a fidyah by slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor, because the intercourse took place before she completed the rites of 'Umrah. So she has to pay a fidyah along with shortening her hair. She shortens her hair, and the time for shortening is not missed. She shortens her hair, and she has to pay a fidyah for the intercourse. Yes.
