What is the ruling on one who enters the state of ihram from the House while being ignorant of the ruling?

The questioner:
The questioner says: I performed a complete 'Umrah, but I did not enter the state of ihram for it from the Mosque of Tan'im; rather, I entered the state of ihram for it from the House.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
He says: I performed a complete 'Umrah, but I did not enter the state of ihram for it from the Mosque of Tan'im; rather, I entered the state of ihram for it from the House, and I was ignorant of the ruling. What is the ruling in this matter, and is there anything required of me? May Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
The House in Makkah.

The questioner:
We enter the state of ihram for it from the House.

The Shaykh:
In Makkah. The 'Umrah is valid, but he owes a fidyah (ransom payment). He owes a fidyah for leaving off the entry into ihram from the miqat (boundary) for 'Umrah. Because the one in Makkah, whether he is from its people or a visitor, if he wants to perform 'Umrah, he must go out to the halal (non-sacred) area. He enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah from the halal area. Whether from al-Ja'ranah, or from Tan'im, or from 'Arafah, the important thing is that he enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah outside the Haram (sacred precinct). If he enters the state of ihram from within the Haram, he owes a fidyah for the 'Umrah. As for Hajj, he enters the state of ihram for it from Makkah, and there is no harm in that.
