What is the ruling on one who is detained by a detainer after he has entered the state of ihram for Hajj?

Question:
I came two years ago and stayed in Makkah to perform the obligatory Hajj. On the Day of Tarwiyah, I was in the state of ihram, and I was coming from Jeddah. The police took me on that day and sent me back to my country. Do I have to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) or not?

Answer:
Yes, he is asking about the fidyah. Yes, he has to pay a fidyah, the fidyah for being prevented (muhasar), because this person is prevented. So he has to shave his head if he is prevented and stopped; he shaves his head and slaughters the fidyah, and comes out of his state of ihram, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did in the year of Hudaybiyyah. He shaved his head, slaughtered the fidyah, and came out of his state of ihram. This is what he does? Allah the Exalted said: “If you are prevented, then [sacrifice] what is easy to obtain of the sacrificial animals.” So he has to pay the fidyah, but he slaughters it in Makkah and distributes it among the poor. And if he is unable to slaughter the fidyah, he fasts for ten days.
