Shaving and shortening the hair during `Umrah | Permanent Committee for Research and Verdicts.
Q 3: If a person finishes performing
Umrah by performing Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka
bah) and Say (going between Safa and Marwah), can he cut his hair from one or many parts when ending the state of Ihram from
Umrah?A: He should shave or cut all the hair of his head.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

Performing `Umrah a week after shaving his head | Permanent Committee for Research and Verdicts.
Q 2: If a person has shaved his hair for
Umrah during this week for example, and intends to perform
Umrah the following week, what should he do, given that his hair is very short and almost close to skin?A: It is obligatory for the person who performs
Umrah or Hajj to shave or shorten his hair. If the person has no hair, shaving or shortening the hair will not be obligatory and his Hajj and
Umrah will be valid.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

Assuming Ihram for `Umrah and then being hindered to perform it | Permanent Committee for Research and Verdicts.
Q: We performed
Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) in Ramadan this year 1407 A.H. We reached the Sacred Mosque at the time of
Isha’ (Night) Prayer. We lost one of our friends during the Salah (Prayer), meaning,Isha' (Night) Prayer. We were busy searching for him from sunrise to the following day. We found him after we had suffered severe tiredness. We left the Sacred Mosque to my brother's house in Makkah. We stayed until breakfast and then we went to the Sacred Mosque, for the women who had accompanied us did not perform
Umrah until the following night. We performedUmrah and removed our Ihram (ritual state for Hajj and
Umrah) while searching for our lost friend.
The question now is: Is there any harm on us because we went to the house of my brother in Makkah? Is there any harm on the women for leaving the Sacred Mosque and going to the house of my brother in Makkah? Is there any harm on them for performing Ghusl (ritual bathing) while they were in the state of Ihram for `Umrah? It should be mentioned that we stayed outside the Sacred Mosque for only one day.A: If the reality is as you have mentioned, then there is nothing due on you for going to the house of your brother in Makkah Al-Mukarramah and staying there for one day before performing
Umrah. Likewise, there is nothing due on you for performing Ghusl before performing
Umrah for the purpose of cleanliness or cooling oneself.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

Performing`Umrah and spending in the Cause of Allah | Permanent Committee for Research and Verdicts.
Q 1: By Allah’s support, I was able to perform the Faridhah (obligatory act) of Qiran Hajj (combining Hajj and
Umrah without a break in between) in 1401 A.H. In 1402 A.H. I performed Hajj on behalf of my mother (May Allah be merciful with her) by virtue of Allah's Bestowal. These days, I have a great passion towards returning to these sanctified, blessed lands, as I yearn to perform Tawaf (circumambulation) around the Ka
bah , Say (going) between Al-Safa and Al-Marawah, in addition to paying a visit to Al-Masjid Al-Nabawy (the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah) peace be upon him and his two companions (Abu Bakr and
Umar), offering prayer in Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah (The area between the grave and the pulpit of the Prophet). If I offer this charitable act, will this be considered as wastefulness or
lavishness? In other words: Suppose I have a surplus of money which suffices to offerUmrah. On the other hand, I have another choice of donating a sum of money to the Mujahidun (those striving or fighting in the Cause of Allah) in Afghanistan, Which is more deserving to spend the money on. Should I Donate the money to the Mujahidun or perform
Umrah? May Allah reward you amply.A: Both acts are pious and reward worthy, but the benefit of `Umrah is only restricted to its doer, while the benefit of spending on Jihad (striving in the Cause of Allah) will be more extended and widespread, therefore, it is more deserving and preferable.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

Performing `Umrah wearing regular clothes | Permanent Committee for Research and Verdicts.
Q 3: I performed
Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) on the first days of Ramadan during this year. I stayed there for 15 days. I returned to perform another
Umrah wearing my garment. When I reached the Sacred Masjid (mosque), I performed Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid (two-unit Prayer to salute the mosque). Then I performed Tawaf (circumambulation of the Kabah) for seven rounds, then I performed two Raka
h behind Maqam Ibrahim (the Station of Ibrahim). After that I performed Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah) seven times. Finally, I cut my hair.A: What you have mentioned concerning performing
Umrah is what should have been done in this regard. Your
Umrah would be valid if you performed it from the Miqat (sites for entering the ritual state for Hajj andUmrah for Hajj and
Umrah). Moreover, performing Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid upon entering the Sacred Masjid contradicts the Sunnah. The Sunnah of entering the sacred Masjid is performing Tawaf especially for a person who is in a state of Ihram.If you mean, by performing Ihram in your garment, the garments of Ihram where you performed the first Umrah, then your
Umrah will be valid. Moreover, you can use this garment many other times for performing Hajj and
Umrah. But if you mean by “your garments” the normal clothes you wear in times other than the time of Ihram, then you have committed two prohibitions that should be avoided during Ihram which is wearing sewn clothes and covering the head if you had covered your head. If you are aware that these things are prohibited during Ihram, then you have to offer two Fidyahs (ransoms); one for wearing sewn clothes and the other for covering your head.These Fidyahs are to slaughter two goats that are qualified to be slaughter as Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims), feed six needy people by giving every needy person half a Sa (1 Sa`=3 kg. Approx.) of dates or the like of the food of your region, or observe Sawm (Fast) for three days. Moreover, you have to distribute the meat of these goats or the food among the needy people at Makkah. You should not eat from these things. You are permitted to observe Sawm at any time and place. But if you were unaware of the ruling or you forgot it, then you will not be required to offer Fidyah. In both cases, you have to repent to Allah and to seek His forgiveness. You should not do any thing that violates your Ihram.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
