Question
A man went for Umrah. He made the Umrah's Tawaaf. After four shauts of the Sa-ee, he had to abandon the further shauts due to an emergency. He had to go to Jiddah immediately. He shaved his hair and left. What should he do after retruning to Makkah?
Answer
His Umrah is valid. The Fardh of Sa-ee (4 shauts) has been fulfilled. On his return he had to perform the three remaining shauts, then the Sadqah penalty falls away. If he did not perform the three shauts, then the Sadqah Fitr amount (nisf-saa') is Waajib for each shaut.
For the Sa-ee of Umrah, Ihraam is Sunnat, not Waajib. Therefore, the remaining three shauts may be performed without Ihraam.
