Is it permissible to conclude a marriage contract after the first exit from ihram without sexual intercourse?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh! This questioner says: Is it permissible to conclude a marriage contract after the first exit from ihram without sexual intercourse?

Answer:
No, it is still forbidden. It is still forbidden after the first exit from ihram; it remains forbidden until the rites are completed. Therefore, one does not conclude a marriage contract, nor does he have sexual intercourse with his wife, because he still has the remainder of the ihram obligations upon him.
