The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : A shaykh, I performed Hajj this year, and I was with a group. A discussion arose between me and the group leader, and I was in the state of ihram. I returned and exited my state of ihram.
The Shaykh : Then.
The questioner : Then you returned.
The Shaykh : To your country?
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : And you left Hajj?
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The Shaykh : Know that you are now in the state of ihram; you are considered to be in the state of ihram now. So you must hasten to remove your clothes and put on the clothes of ihram, and go to Makkah and perform 'Umrah.
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The Shaykh : You perform 'Umrah.
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The Shaykh : That is, you perform tawaf and sa'y and shorten your hair.
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The Shaykh : Then you must perform Hajj next year.
The questioner : But.
The Shaykh : Be patient, and you must offer a sacrificial animal because you exited the state of ihram without an excuse. So may Allah reward you with good; hasten now.
The questioner : I performed 'Umrah in this story, O shaykh. I did it in this summer, I returned and exited my state of ihram and wore sewn clothes. Then I came in this summer and took 'Umrah; I took 'Umrah, meaning about a month ago.
The Shaykh : But did you intend it as the previous 'Umrah?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : This is a matter for consideration. You must perform Hajj next year, and you must offer a sacrificial animal.
The questioner : But? And the family?
The Shaykh : The family is like you, if they exited the state of ihram afterwards.
The questioner : No, no, I mean, there is nothing.
The Shaykh : There is nothing except that you were ignorant, my brother. I advise you and whoever hears this.
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The Shaykh : If a problem occurs to you, ask the scholars from that time. That is, if you had asked the scholars at that time whether it is permissible for you to exit the state of ihram merely because of a dispute between you and your companion, the matter would have been easy. So my advice to you and others is that if difficulties arise in worship, you should hasten to ask about them.
The questioner : Okay, so I must perform 'Umrah now.
The Shaykh : Now you must perform 'Umrah. The 'Umrah has ended, if Allah wills. We hope that what happened was sufficient, but you must perform Hajj next year and offer a sacrificial animal.
The questioner : Okay, and is there nothing for the family?
The Shaykh : You were ignorant, and if a person is ignorant, there is nothing upon him.
The questioner : No, now, in the present time.
The Shaykh : No, now it is finished.
The questioner : Because I asked one person and did it in the same...
The Shaykh : It has ended, so nothing remains upon you. You must repent and not return to it. Yes.
The questioner : Which is more preferable, accepting the invitation of a close relative or a distant one to a meal?
The Shaykh : What? Raise it, raise it.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
