A pilgrim performing tamattu' who did not shorten his hair after completing 'Umrah: what is his ruling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Some pilgrims are performing tamattu' and enter into the acts of Hajj without shortening their hair. In this case, are they still considered to be performing tamattu'?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. Has he not exited the state of ihram after the sa'y?The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He has exited the state of ihram now as a tamattu' pilgrim, and perhaps he was unaware of the obligation of shaving. Yes, we say: he is a tamattu' pilgrimSahih al-Bukhari 1 But the issue now is that he cannot shave, because he has entered the state of ihram. Therefore, the most cautious course, in my view, is that he slaughters a fidyah in Makkah and distributes it to the poor for the shaving, in addition to the hady of tamattu'. That is the last question.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. Has he not exited the state of ihram after the sa'y?The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He has exited the state of ihram now as a tamattu' pilgrim, and perhaps he was unaware of the obligation of shaving. Yes, we say: he is a tamattu' pilgrim
