A man completed his 'Umrah but then remembered that he was not in a state of wudu' when he began his 'Umrah, so what is required of him now?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May the Shaykh be respected, a man completed his 'Umrah, but he remembered that he was not in a state of wudu' when he began his 'Umrah, so what is required of him now?
The Shaykh : If he began his 'Umrah without being in a state of wudu', his 'Umrah is valid, because being in a state of ritual purity is not a condition for entering the state of ihram; rather, one looks at his tawaf. Did he perform tawaf in a state of ritual purity or not? If he performed tawaf in a state of ritual purity, then his not being in a state of ritual purity at the time of ihram does not harm him. If he performed tawaf without being in a state of ritual purity, he can now take off his clothes, put on the clothes of ihram, perform tawaf again, perform sa'y, and shorten his hair, and his 'Umrah will be completed. He owes nothing, even if he committed a prohibited act between the end of his 'Umrah and his question now, for there is no blame on him because he was ignorant.
We have previously mentioned a useful and important rule, which is: if a person commits any of the prohibited acts while ignorant, forgetful, or without intention, he owes nothing.
Perhaps we will limit ourselves to this answer because the time has ended.
