The answer

Sa'y (the ritual circumambulation between Safa and Marwah) is a pillar of Hajj and Umrah. For the young man who did not complete the fourth circuit of Sa'y, the sixth and seventh circuits for him are considered the fourth and fifth. He must complete two more circuits to finish his Umrah, and he remains in his state of ihram until he completes it. What he committed of prohibitive acts of luxury is excused due to ignorance. However, for acts of destruction such as shaving or cutting nails, a fidyah (expiatory offering) is due. If intercourse occurred, he is excused, and his Umrah is not invalidated. If Hajj was intended to be combined with Umrah after the tawaf, this combination is not valid, and the Hajj is considered null and void. He must complete his Umrah. If Hajj was an obligatory duty, he must hasten to perform it at the earliest opportunity.
