Question

If a person doesn't cut/shave required amount of hair for a first umrah and comes out of Ihram, thinking it is okay as per suggestions from few people. After few days he does second umrah and shaves of his head completely.

1. Did he need to offer dum? If yes,then one or more?

2. I have seen fatwas that cutting less than required amount and wearing Ihram again for next umrah is not permissible and needed to be compensated by a dum. Is it correct?

3. If in the second umrah, complete head is shaved. Is he out of ihram completely?

4. Are the first and second umrah's valid?

5. I also seen 2 fatwas, can you let me know correct one as per hanafi? (i)If one doesnt cut required amount in first umrah and shaves in second umrah, his shaving is counted for first umrah and second umrah is null (ii) If one doesnt cut required amount in first umrah and shaves in second umrah, he is out of first and second ihram's.

Answer

1. He has to give dum.

2. Yes.

3. Yes.

4. Yes.

5. The second is correct.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
