The questioner : People, men and women, entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah on the night of the twenty-seventh of Ramadan. When they reached the Ka'bah, they performed tawaf around the House, then began sa'y, but due to the severe crowding that night, they feared danger to themselves, so they left the place of sa'y after one or two rounds of sa'y and returned to their homes without completing the sa'y and without shaving or cutting their hair. Of course, the 'Umrah is not complete, but do they owe anything? And what should they do? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : There is no doubt that the 'Umrah, as he said,The questioner : was not completed, since its sa'y was not completed. It is obligatory for them to return to Makkah in the state of ihram and complete the sa'y, but they must begin it from the start, performing seven rounds of sa'y, and then shave or cut their hair.
As for the prohibited acts they committed before this, they owe nothing because they were ignorant. But I am sad that this period has passed while they have done this act and know that their 'Umrah was not completed, yet they did not ask about it at the time. It is obligatory for the Muslim to be more concerned about his religion than his worldly life. If he missed something in this world, he would hasten to make up what he missed. So why, when he misses something in the work of the Hereafter, does he not care about it until a period has passed, which may be a year, two years, or more, and he has not asked? This is part of the trial that many people have been afflicted with. Indeed, it is truly sad that some people say: "Do not ask, lest you be informed of something that will be a hardship for you." Then they interpret the noble verse in a way other than its intended meaning, which is the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Ma'idah 5:101] The prohibition of that was only during the time of the revelation of the revelation, when rulings could be renewed or changed. But after the passing of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it is obligatory for a person to ask about everything he needs in matters of his religion. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. The listener M J from Riyadh says.
