What is the ruling on one who performed 'Umrah but did not pray the two rak'ahs of tawaf?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I performed 'Umrah with tawaf, sa'y, and shaving, but I did not pray behind the Maqam Ibrahim after the tawaf. Is my 'Umrah valid?

Answer:
Yes, 'Umrah consists of tawaf, sa'y, and shaving or shortening the hair. These are the pillars of 'Umrah. If one performs them, his 'Umrah is complete. As for the prayer, the two rak'ahs of tawaf, this is a recommended practice (sunnah). If one performs it, it is better, and if he leaves it, it does not affect his 'Umrah. Yes.
