Sex in Hajj and Umrah

Question:

Is the man allowed to make love with his wife during Umrah or Hajj?
Fatwa:
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.
It is unlawful for the person performing Hajj or Umrah to have sexual intercourse or indulge in any of its prerequisites like touching with pleasure, kissing or the like. This is unlawful for him during Umrah except after shaving the head or shortening it. But during the Hajj, this is unlawful for him except after performing the three acts due on the Day of Sacrifice, i.e. throwing pebbles, slaughtering one's Hadi and shaving or shortening one's hair. For the person who is Muttamat'e he should add to the previous acts Tawaf (circumambulating around Kaaba). The Qarin and the Mufrid should also perform Tawaf if they haven't performed Sa'e after the Tawaf of arrival. Now anyone who performs the above can enjoy sex with his wife during the days of Mina. As for the acts you should not indulge in with your wife please, read Fatawa:82256 and 82908.
Allah Knows best.
