Cutting Short Hair to come out of Ihraam

Q: How does a lady who has short hair by nature (eg. of negroid origin) come out of Ihraam?

A: For a woman to be released from Ihraam, she has to merely clip the hair. In the case of a woman who has naturaly short hair, a few strands from the end part of the back of her head should be clipped. If this is not possible, too, then this requirement is waived (it falls away). In that case she will automatically come out of Ihraam after having completed the other rituals of Hajj or Umrah. Generally such hair is not so short that it cannot be clipped, so an effort should be made to clip at least a few pieces of the hair. This ruling is mentioned in the famous Hanafi Fiqh Raddul-Muhtaar quoting other major works of Fiqh under the section of Hajj.
