Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh. This questioner, Umm Mu'tab, says that she performed 'Umrah in the past. She states: "I circled the Ka'bah for only one lap, then I did not complete it because of the Fajr prayer. After finishing the prayer, I was unable to complete the six laps due to the intensity of the crowd. I left the Haram, then returned to it in the morning at ten-thirty, and performed seven laps, meaning I completed the 'Umrah. What is the ruling in this case?"

Answer:
Praise be to Allah. As long as she returned and completed the tawaf, performed sa'y afterwards, and shortened her hair, she has done what is obligatory upon her. Her leaving because of the crowd is what is required of her, because remaining in the crowd posed a danger to her.
