The ruling on one who passes the miqat without knowledge and performs 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu Ahmad from Jazan, please go ahead, Abu Ahmad. Peace be upon you. Raise your voice, Rahman. Oh Shaykh, I was always... There is an echo; try to lower the television a little. Yes. Please go ahead. I was heading to Makkah al-Mukarramah to perform 'Umrah, so I took the Jeddah road, not to enter ihram from the boundary marker, because I knew that from there there is a boundary marker from which one enters ihram. So, of course, it was the first time I was taking that road, and the marker was not clear to me; I did not know the ihram marker from the miqat. So I asked some of the security men present on that road for guidance, and they directed me to a place from which I entered ihram, and I went and completed my 'Umrah, praise be to Allah. It became clear to me afterwards that the place from which I entered ihram is about seven kilometers away from the same boundary marker. Thank you.

The Shaykh:
Meaning you passed the boundary marker, meaning you passed the boundary marker.

The questioner:
Yes, I passed it without knowing, knowing that I also performed another 'Umrah afterwards.

The Shaykh:
Your ihram is valid, if Allah wills, and your 'Umrah is valid, and you owe a fidyah (ransom payment). Either you slaughter a sheep in Makkah and distribute it to the poor, or if you are unable to do so, you fast for ten days. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
