Tahallul and hair cutting
If a pilgrim performs four voluntary umrahs without doing tahallul after the first three, how many umrahs are valid and is a dam required?
Answer in brief
The pilgrim is counted as having performed only one valid umrah, even though the intention, tawaf and sa'i were repeated several times. The other umrahs are not valid because tahallul by shaving or trimming the hair was not completed after each one. A dam is required only if the pilgrim violated any ihram prohibition, according to the type of violation, and no dam is due if none was violated.
Summary written by DHUMY from the Malay original and checked against it.
Justeru, umrahnya yang dikira sah hanyalah satu kali sahaja iaitu umrahnya yang pertama dengan tahallul umrah yang terakhir manakala tiga umrah yang lain tidak dikira sah kerana dia tidak menyempurnakan tahallul.
