The ruling on one who enters the state of ihram but is unable to enter the sacred precinct due to the lack of a permit

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Does the ruling of one who is prevented (muhasar) apply to one who enters the state of ihram for Hajj from the miqat but is unable to enter because he does not have a permit? Is he allowed to slaughter a sacrificial animal and exit the state of ihram like one who is prevented?

Answer:
No, he is not one who is prevented. One who is prevented is the one who goes and is unable to enter the sacred precinct. If he is able to pass the police, he puts back his ihram clothes and they do not pursue him; they do not follow him. He puts back his ihram clothes and leaves, but he owes a fidyah (ransom payment). The fidyah for harm is a choice between slaughtering a sheep in the sacred precinct and distributing it to the poor, or feeding six poor people, or fasting for three days.
