Question:
My wife forgot to shorten her hair after the 'Umrah, and she remembered a month later. What is required of her?
Answer:
She is required to shorten her hair whenever she remembers, even if a long time has passed, because her 'Umrah is not complete. If she had intercourse before shortening her hair, she has to offer a fidyah (ransom payment); she slaughters the fidyah in Makkah and distributes it to the poor in the Haram, and she shortens her hair. If she did not have intercourse, it is sufficient for her to shorten her hair to complete her 'Umrah. Yes.
