What is the ruling regarding someone who had intercourse with his wife in the hotel before 'Umrah, then went to Al-Taneem, entered into ihram, and performed a new 'Umrah?
Sexual intercourse is not permissible for a pilgrim in the state of . If it occurs during before completing the Sa'i (ritual circumambulation between Safa and Marwa), the Umrah becomes invalid. It is then obligatory to complete it and perform it again from the original (point of assuming ihram), along with sacrificing a sheep for each person. If the intercourse occurs after the Sa'i but before shaving or cutting the hair, the Umrah is not invalidated, but a compensatory offering () is required, with choices. Your going to Al-Tan'im is of no benefit.
Three things are incumbent upon you both: repentance, performing the Umrah again from the same original miqat of ihram, and a compensatory offering (fidyah) for each of you, with choices: sacrificing a sheep, or fasting for three days, or feeding six needy persons. Sacrificing a sheep is preferred.
