Summary
A person who returns home having missed one pillar of umrah is still considered to be in ihram and is forbidden from violating its prohibitions. If he remembers while travelling back, he must promptly return in a state of ihram. The dam depends on the type of violation: taraffuh incurs a dam if done deliberately but not if done unintentionally or out of ignorance, while itlaf incurs a dam whether intentional or not. Where a dam is due, he is obliged to slaughter a goat where he is and give it to the poor there, then intend tahallul to exit ihram.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dam Ihsar adalah dam untuk melepaskan diri dari larangan ihram bagi seseorang yang sudah berniat ihram tetapi tidak dapat menyelesaikan rukun hajinya atau rukun umrahnya atau kedua-duanya.
