It is obvious that his ihram is invalidated also.

It is obvious that his ihram is invalidated also. If the omission is out of oversight, it is obligatory on him to perform what was omitted when he remembers even if it is after completion of Hajj. If he remembers the omission whilst he is in Arafaat, or after the expiry of Dhil Hijjah, as a matter of caution, he must repeat the saee after completing the forgotten rounds. However. if this is difficult, he is obliged to appoint an agent to perform on his behalf.

As a matter of caution, the agent must perform a full saee with the niyyath of fulfilling an obligation of his principal in addition to completing the forgotten rounds. Rule 344: If in the course of Umrat-ul-Tamatoo, a pilgrim mistakenly omits a portion of saee but in the belief that he had completed it, then, as a matter of caution. he should sacrifice a cow in penalty and, as already stated, it is obligatory to complete the saee.

DOUBTS IN SAEE After taqseer, there is no room for doubt in the number of rounds made, but if it arises before taqseer then, if the doubt is whether additions were made, it should be ignored but if it is whether omissions were made, the saee is invalidated. Rule 345: If having reached Marwah in the last round, a pilgrim entertains a doubt as to whether it was his seventh or ninth round, the doubt should be ignored and the saee is valid.

However, if the same doubt arises in the course of a round, the saee is invalidated and has to be performed again. Rule 346: The rule on doubt concerning the number of rounds in saee is the same as the rule for such doubts in tawaaf arising in the course of the tawaaf itself. If there is doubt on the number of rounds, the saee is invalidated. TAQSEER It is the fifth obligation in Umrat-ul-Tamatoo. Its meaning is to cut some hair of the head or beard or mustache.

It is necessary that this is done with the intention of attaining nearness to Allah and it is not enough for taqseer merely to pluck out hair. As a matter of caution, it is preferable to cut hair rather than nail. Rule 347: Taqseer completes the Umrat-ul-Tamatoo. It is not permissible to shave off the head as to do so is forbidden and attracts, as a matter of caution, a penalty of a sheep if one does so knowingly and deliberately.

Rule 348: If a pilgrim has sexual intercourse after saee but before taqseer knowingly and deliberately he is liable to a penalty of a camel. However, if he did so in ignorance of the rule, he is relieved of the penalty.
