One Who Enters the State of Ihram for 'Umrah and Then Is Unable to Complete It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, an elderly man entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah, but when he reached the House, he was unable to perform the 'Umrah. What should he do?

Answer:
If his inability is permanent, then he is one who is prevented (muhasar) and must exit the state of ihram.
But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animalsفَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
This is one who is prevented; he exits the state of ihram and slaughters the sacrificial animal. But if the obstacle is expected to be removed, he waits until the obstacle is removed, then he performs the 'Umrah. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
