The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. This is a female questioner asking and saying: She began her tawaf from the corner and not from the Black Stone, and then she was informed afterwards, after she had completely finished her 'Umrah, that tawaf begins from the Black Stone, and she is traveling today. Is it obligatory for her to repeat the 'Umrah, and she was ignorant?
The Shaykh : Did this woman begin from the Yemeni Corner and conclude with the Yemeni Corner? If so, then her tawaf is deficient, the deficiency being the distance between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone. But if she began with the Yemeni Corner and concluded with the Black Stone, then her tawaf is valid, and there was an excess in it. So the matter requires detail: if she began with the Yemeni Corner and concluded with it, her tawaf is what? Deficient. And if she began with the Yemeni Corner and concluded with the Black Stone, her tawaf is complete. She knows her own situation best. So if she concluded the tawaf with the Yemeni Corner, it is obligatory for her now to go to the Ka'bah and perform tawaf with the intention of 'Umrah for seven circuits, beginning with the Black Stone and ending with it, then perform sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah, then shorten her hair. Yes.
The questioner : ... she returns to the miqat ...
The Shaykh : No, she does not return to the miqat, and there is nothing else. Removing the clothes also does not harm the woman; she has no specific garment for ihram. She wears what she wishes and removes it whenever she wishes. Even the man does not have specific clothes for ihram. Yes, the man does not have specific clothes for ihram. That means he may change his izar and rida to another izar and rida, and there is nothing wrong with that. So now we have said the answer, and perhaps, if Allah wills, you will hear it before you travel. If she began with the Yemeni Corner and concluded with the Black Stone, then the tawaf is valid and she owes nothing. If she began with the Yemeni Corner and concluded with the Yemeni Corner, then the tawaf is not valid due to its deficiency, and it is obligatory for her now to go and perform tawaf around the House for seven circuits with the intention of tawaf for 'Umrah, and perform sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shorten her hair. The first shortening does not suffice. Yes.
