Question
I did ‘umrah and forgot to cut my hair, then I went and entered ihraam for another ‘umrah [straight after the first one], and I did tawaaf and saa’i then cut my hair. What is the ruling on my first and second ‘umrahs, and what should I do?.
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
I asked our Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Barraak about this and he replied:
Doing one ‘umrah after another is not valid according to the fuqaha’ of the Muslims, so the second ‘umrah does not count and the cutting of the hair is counted for the first ‘umrah.
