What is the ruling on one who enters the state of ihram for Hajj, then removes his ihram garments due to an unforeseen circumstance, and does not remember whether he covered his head?

Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person entered the state of ihram for Hajj and wore the ihram garments, then an unforeseen circumstance occurred, so he put on his clothes and removed his ihram garments. He does not remember whether he wore something on his head or not. What is required of him? This is what they do.

Answer:
Those who were not granted a Hajj permit are resorting to this ruse, and this is not permissible. However, if he did this, he has committed a prohibited act among the prohibitions of ihram, so he owes a fidyah (ransom payment) by choosing among the three options mentioned. As for the fact that he does not know whether he covered his head or not, and he has no certainty, he owes nothing until it is established that he covered his head, in which case he owes a second fidyah.
