Dam needed for old Umrahs without hair trimming?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
In initial years I had performed Umrahs and due to ignorance I did not trim my hair at least by 1/4th . In those instances due to misguidance I cut hairs which are a few in numbers. Do I have to give dam (sacrificing goat)? If yes, do I have to sacrifice goat in Makkah only or may I do anywhere? Please note this was done due to ignorance. Now-a-days after Umrah I used to cut at least 1/4th of my hair. Kindly reply.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 439/404/SN=07/1436)

The ihram of all those umrahs which you took off by cutting a few hair, you did not come out of the ihram of those umrahs as per the Shariah. Yes, when later on you learnt the ruling and became halal after performing umrah as per Shariah(first time),then you came out of the previous ihrams as well. However, you will have to offer one dam (slaughtering animal) for each umrah whose ihram you took off by cutting a few hair. This dam shall suffice for whatsoever unlawful acts you performed between one umrah to another. Also you put on the ihram of other umrah while you did not come out of the ihram as per the Shariah, then one more dam will also be necessary on you due to combining two umrahs. It is mandatory to offer these two dams in the boundary of Haram. It is mentioned in Inayah:

ومن فرغ من عمرته إلا التقصير فأحرم بعمرة أخرى فعليه دم يعنى بالاتفاق لإحرامه قبل الوقت؛ لأن وقته بعد حلق الأول ولم يوجد؛ لأنه جمع بين أحرامي العمرة، وهذا مكروه فيلزمه الدم، وهو دم جبرو كفارة لا يحل التناول منه الخ (عنايه مع فتح القدير، 3/107، كتاب الحج ط: زكريا) وفي غنية المناسك ….. وأما في التراخي بأن أحرم بأخرى بعد أن يفرغ من السعي للأول قبل الحلق فتلزمه الثانية باتفاق الثلاثة ولا يرفضها وعليه دم الجمع الخ (غنية المناسك ص: 306) وفي رد المحتار: قال في اللباب واعلم أن المحرم إذا نوى رفض الإحرام فجعل يصنع مايصنعه الحلال من لبس الثياب والتطيب والحلق والجماع وقتل الصيد؛ فإنه لا يخرج بذلك من الإحرام وعليه أن يعود كما كان محرماً ویجب دم واحد لجميع ما ارتكب ، ولو كل المحظورات الخ (3/585، ط: زكريا) وانظر احسن الفتاوى (4/546، ط: زكريا)

Allah knows Best!
