What is the ruling on a pilgrim taking pebbles from 'Arafah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is well known that taking pebbles for stoning the pillars must be done from within the sacred precinct. If a person took pebbles from 'Arafah, is there anything required of him if he was unaware of the ruling? And is that sufficient for him, or must he repeat it? If it is not sufficient for him, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment).

Answer:
He owes a fidyah, which he slaughters in Makkah and distributes to the poor, because it is not permissible to stone the pillars except with pebbles from within the sacred precinct, inside the miles. Yes.
