Summary
The father is required to slaughter a goat as dam ihsor, then shave or cut at least three strands of hair, and must repeat the tawaf to make up for the defective hajj tawaf. Once aware of this ruling, the couple may not have intercourse until the goat is slaughtered and the hair is cut; if they do, they must give 12 cupak of staple rice each time, to be shared among six poor people. A child married off by the father after the hajj must remarry with the father as guardian, after he has slaughtered the goat and shaved or cut his hair.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
