The ruling on one whose Hajj becomes impossible after entering the state of ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. If a Muslim intends to perform Hajj, and after entering the state of ihram his Hajj becomes impossible, what is the ruling?

Answer:
If the one who entered the state of ihram finds that Hajj has become impossible for him, there is no harm in that; he is excused. However, if he entered the state of ihram and an obstacle arose that prevented him from performing Hajj, he is a muhasar (one prevented from completing Hajj).
And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allah. But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animalsوَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ فَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
If he is prevented and unable to proceed to perform Hajj, he must exit the state of ihram and slaughter a fidyah (ransom payment), namely whatever is easy to obtain from the hady (sacrificial animals). Yes.
