Rafiq-ul-Haramayn 226
If the length of the hair of a woman is shorter than that of a finger
digit, she is exempted from doing Qaṣr because it is not possible for
her. To have Ḥalq done is already forbidden for her. What she is
advised to do in such a situation is to get out of the restrictions of
Iḥrām near the end of the days of ritual sacrifice (i.e. after the sunset
of 12 th Żul-Ḥijja-til-Ḥarām) provided she is going to perform the
‘Umraĥ that is related to Hajj. Even if she does not wait till the
above-mentioned time, no expiation will be due.
Miscellaneous questions and answers
Question 1: If a Muḥrim sustained head or facial injury, and he is
compelled to bandage it, will he be sinner
Answer: Under the condition of being compelled to take such an
act he will not be sinner, however, he will have to pay expiation for
the unintentional offence.
Therefore, if a Muḥrim used such a large bandage that covered one
quarter or more than one quarter of his head or face for the period
of a day or night or more, Dam will become Wājib. If less than one
quarter of the face or the head was covered, Ṣadaqaĥ will be Wājib.
(See the details of unintentional offence on page 181). Except for the
head and the face, there is no harm in having bandage on any other
part of the body. Further, a woman can have bandage even on her
head in compulsion.
Question 2: While waiting to perform Hajj, can a Mutamatte’ and a
Qārin perform ‘Umraĥ in this period
Answer: Since the Qārin is still in the state of Iḥrām he cannot do
so. As for the Mutamatte’, there is a difference of opinion amongst
Islamic scholars in this matter. It is better for a Mutamatte’ to perform
