She did not cut her Hair due to forgetfulness

Question :

A woman performed Hajj and she did all of the acts of Hajj, except that she did not cut her hair until now, due to ignorance or forgetfulness. She reached her homeland and she did all of the things that are prohibited for the person in Ihram. Thus, she asks what is required of her and what is the result of this?

Answer:

If the matter is as the questioner mentioned, in that she did everything but cutting her hair due to forgetfulness or ignorance on her part, then she must cut the hair of her head in her homeland and there is nothing due on her. This is because she delayed it due to her ignorance or forgetfulness, while she had the intention of completing the Hajj. We ask Allâh to grant success to everyone and acceptance. Since it was mentioned in the question that her husband had sex with her before cutting her hair, she must slaughter a sheep or a seventh of a camel that is suitable for sacrifice. It is to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor people of the Haram, unless the sex took place after her leaving the Haram when she was in her homeland or some other place. In that case, she slaughters the animal in her homeland and divides it up for distribution among the poor people there.
