Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, in the last of this questioner's questions, he says: A person shaved his head before completing the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah while performing 'Umrah. When asked, he said that he was ignorant of this. What is the ruling? And does he owe anything?
The Shaykh: Repeat.
The presenter: He says: A person shaved his head before completing the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah while performing 'Umrah. When asked, he said that he was ignorant of this. What is the ruling? And does he owe anything?
Answer:
He owes nothing because he was ignorant, but he should shave or shorten his hair after he completes the sa'y. As for shaving or shortening the hair before the sa'y, before completing what he is required to do, if he was ignorant, he owes nothing according to the correct view, and the same applies to one who forgot. However, after completing the sa'y, he must shave or shorten his hair so that he completes his 'Umrah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, Your Eminence. Do you have any guidance for those who are lax in asking about matters of their religion before they begin them, Your Eminence?
The Shaykh: Yes, it is obligatory for the Muslim to gain knowledge of the religion, to be discerning, and to ask the scholars about what is difficult for him; because Allah the Exalted says: [Surah al-Nahl: 43]. And it is narrated from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said to a people who issued rulings without knowledge: Sunan al-Bayhaqi 1:995.
The point is: It is prescribed for the believer to gain knowledge of the religion and be discerning, and likewise for the believing woman by attending circles of knowledge, asking by phone, or in person. She should read the books of the scholars if she has knowledge, so that she is on clear evidence and insight. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1037a So gaining knowledge of the religion, learning, and asking the scholars is a matter of importance and obligation. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, Your Eminence.

The Shaykh: Yes, it is obligatory for the Muslim to gain knowledge of the religion, to be discerning, and to ask the scholars about what is difficult for him; because Allah the Exalted says:
So ask the people of the message if you do not know.
فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لا تَعْلَمُونَWhy did they not ask when they did not know? Indeed, the cure for ignorance is asking.
ألا سألوا إذ لم يعلموا، إنما شفاء العي السؤالThe point is: It is prescribed for the believer to gain knowledge of the religion and be discerning, and likewise for the believing woman by attending circles of knowledge, asking by phone, or in person. She should read the books of the scholars if she has knowledge, so that she is on clear evidence and insight. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He upon whom Allah intends to bestow goodness, He confers upon him an insight in religion
من يرد الله به خيرًا يفقهه في الدينThe presenter: May Allah reward you, Your Eminence.
