Whoever enters into for must complete it, based on the words of Allah the Almighty: (And complete the Hajj and Umrah for Allah). What was mentioned is not considered a legitimate impediment to completing the Umrah. Therefore, it is obligatory to return to complete it with and sa'i, and then shorten the hair to exit ihram, while remaining in the state of ihram and avoiding its prohibitions. If any of the prohibitions were committed out of ignorance or forgetfulness, there is no penalty upon the one who committed it.

Her Umrah is valid, and her intention to cancel it is not effective.
