What is the ruling on one who exits the state of ihram from 'Umrah without shortening his hair?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A person performed 'Umrah and came out of his state of ihram, but he forgot to shave his head. Then he remembered and shaved his head after coming out of ihram. What is required of him?

Answer:
If he shaved his head with the intention of the pilgrimage, he has fulfilled what is required of him and his 'Umrah is complete. However, it is obligatory for him, before shaving, to take off his sewn clothes and put back on the clothes of ihram, because he is still in a state of ihram, and wearing sewn clothes was an incorrect mistake. If he rectifies this by taking off the sewn clothes and putting on the clothes of ihram, and then shaves his head or cuts it short, he has fulfilled what is required of him and his 'Umrah is complete.
