Clarification that 'Umrah has only one release from the state of ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it true that 'Umrah has two releases, and that shortening the hair is valid anywhere outside Makkah?With the mention of the evidence of the one who said: That it has two releases?
It is established that Hajj has two releases, but as for 'Umrah, it is not established, and a person cannot release himself from it except by shaving the head after the sa'y, and the sa'y after the tawaf.Three levels: Tawaf, sa'y, shaving or shortening the hair. But is it obligatory that the shaving or shortening be in Makkah? It is not obligatory. If he leaves Makkah while still in his state of ihram and shaves in Jeddah, for example, there is no blame on him.
The questioner: Is there evidence that it has two releases?The Shaykh: The one who says: it has two releases.
He is the one affirming it, so he brings the evidence.And the one who says: It does not have two releases; he is the one denying it, so where is the evidence for the two releases? But there is no evidence that it is obligatory for the shaving or shortening to be in Makkah. If he shaves outside Makkah while still in his state of ihram, there is nothing wrong with it, although the best is that he shaves as soon as he finishes the sa'y at al-Marwah; that is the best.
