Is it true that 'Umrah has two exits from the state of consecration, and that shortening the hair is valid in any place outside Makkah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Is it true that 'Umrah has two exits from the state of consecration, and that shortening the hair is valid?
The Shaykh : That?
The questioner : That 'Umrah has two exits from the state of consecration, and that shortening the hair is valid in any place outside Makkah, while mentioning the evidence of those who say it has two exits?
The Shaykh : Look, may Allah bless you:
It is established that Hajj has two exits from the state of consecration, but this is not established for 'Umrah. A person cannot exit from it except by shaving the head after the sa'y, and the sa'y after the tawaf. These are three ordered steps: tawaf, sa'y, then shaving or shortening the hair. But is it obligatory that the shaving or shortening be done in Makkah?
It is not obligatory. If he leaves Makkah while still in the state of consecration and shaves in Jeddah, for example, there is no blame on him.
The questioner : Is there evidence for this, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : For what?
The questioner : For the fact that it does not have two exits?
The Shaykh : The one who says it has two exits is the one who affirms it, so he is the one who brings the evidence. The one who says it does not have two exits is the one who denies it, so where is the evidence for the two exits? However, there is no evidence that it is obligatory for the shaving or shortening to be in Makkah. If he shaves outside Makkah while still in the state of consecration, there is nothing wrong with it. Although the better course is to shave as soon as he finishes the sa'y at al-Marwah; that is the better course. Yes.
