The Ruling on Participating in Unlicensed Hajj Caravans

Question:
May Allah reward you, our Shaykh, and benefit us through you. This person is asking about some fraudulent caravans that take pilgrims but do not have an official permit from the government. Then, when the passport inspection or the police come, they force the pilgrims to wear sewn clothing and tell them that this is a case of necessity. There are also those who issue a ruling to them that they owe nothing in this situation. I ask for guidance.

Answer:
This is not permissible because it is a disobedience to the one in authority. Also, they are not allowed to enter, or to pass the miqat, otherwise they would be in the state of ihram, and it is not permissible for them to wear sewn clothing. If they do so, they have committed one of the prohibitions of ihram, and a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of them. In any case, this is a mistake, but their Hajj is valid, though with sin. Yes.
