Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man says: He and his wife went for 'Umrah, so they entered the state of ihram from Jeddah after the festival. In the first lap of the tawaf, their child became tired, so the mother went out with the child and did not complete her 'Umrah. They returned to Riyadh, and they are now in this state, and sexual intercourse has taken place. What is the ruling?

Answer:
The ruling is that it is not permissible for her to abandon the 'Umrah. Since sexual intercourse has taken place, it is obligatory for her to proceed with the 'Umrah and perform it, although it is defective. Then she must return to the miqat, the place from which she entered the state of ihram, and enter the state of ihram for a new 'Umrah to make up for the defective one. She also owes a fidyah, which is the slaughter of a sacrificial animal in the Haram to be distributed to the poor. Yes.
