What is obligatory upon one who commits a prohibited act during Hajj

The questioner:
Peace be upon you. Honorable Shaykh, I performed Hajj several years ago, and during the Hajj I committed a prohibited act, and this prohibited act was a sin. What is obligatory for me now? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
We do not know what this prohibited act is. If it was intercourse with his wife, there is a distinction here: was it before the first exit from the state of ihram or after it? There is a distinction, and the ruling differs. Or is the prohibited act a sin?

The questioner:
It is not a matter with the wife, no, it was not intercourse.

The Shaykh:
This also varies; it may be obligatory to pay a ransom payment, or it may not be obligatory to pay a ransom payment. We do not know. You must clarify this sin. You can ask a student of knowledge or one of the shaykhs between you and him. If you do not like to mention this in front of people, look for one of the shaykhs and tell him the question in confidence, and he will answer you, if Allah wills. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
