Forgetting to cut one's hair after umrah

Q: After umrah, my wife forgot to cut her hair, what should we do now?

A: She should immediately cut her hair with the intention of coming out of ihraam. Similarly, she should slaughter one damm if she had used anything that is prohibited in the state of ihraam which makes damm compuslory (e.g. covering the face for twelve hours or more, applying perfume, having relations, etc.).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
