Question:
He says: I came from a neighboring country with the intention of performing 'Umrah and entered the state of ihram for it. When I arrived at the hotel and reached my room, I undid the ihram and put on my regular clothes before the tawaf and sa'y. One of the people saw me and said to me, "It is not permissible for you to undo the ihram." So, is there anything required of me?
Answer:
Yes, it is valid. You made a mistake in this and committed one of the prohibitions of ihram. However, if you were ignorant, the ignorant person is excused. But once you learned that it is not permissible for you to wear sewn clothing, you must remove it immediately, put on the ihram garments again, and complete the 'Umrah. As for if you continued wearing the sewn clothing after learning that it is not permissible for you while you are in ihram, you owe a fidyah (ransom payment). Either you feed six poor people in the Haram, or you slaughter a sheep in the Haram and distribute it to the poor, or you fast for three days. This is if you left it on after learning that it is not permissible. But if you acted promptly and removed it and put on the ihram garments again, then you owe nothing. Yes.
