Ruling on exiting the state of ihram outside Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: We, a group of women, performed the lesser pilgrimage (‘Umrah), but we did not shorten our hair after completing the sa’i. We only shortened our hair on the road between al-Madinah and Makkah. I said: It is obligatory for us to shorten our hair, but some of the women said: Shortening the hair is not obligatory except in Hajj. Is it necessary for us to offer a sacrifice for leaving the shortening of hair after the completion of the sa’i? Please inform us, may you be rewarded, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The Shaykh: Shortening the hair is obligatory for you in Hajj and in the lesser pilgrimage (‘Umrah). In the lesser pilgrimage, it is after the tawaf and the sa’i, and in Hajj, it is after the stoning of the pillars, the stoning of the Jamarah. Even if it was on the road, if you shortened your hair on the road, there is no blame on you. It is not necessary to be in Makkah, even if it is on the road, even if it is in the town. The point is shortening the hair with the intention of Hajj, or with the intention of the lesser pilgrimage in the matter of the lesser pilgrimage. There is no blame on you, and praise be to Allah, as long as the shortening of hair took place, so praise be to Allah.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
