A woman performed 'Umrah with her husband, then traveled and forgot to shorten her hair, and intercourse took place; what is the ruling?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman performed 'Umrah with her husband, then returned to her country after completing the 'Umrah. She has forgotten to shorten her hair until now, and intercourse has taken place between them. He asks: What is the ruling in this matter?

Answer:
The ruling is that she should shorten her hair in any place when she remembers or becomes aware. She should shorten it in Riyadh or in any other place, as shortening and shaving have no specific location; it is permissible in every place. As for the intercourse, she must pay a fidyah (ransom payment) because she committed a prohibited act from the prohibitions of ihram before exiting the state of consecration. Therefore, she must slaughter a fidyah in Makkah or appoint someone to slaughter it for her, and distribute it to the poor. Yes.
