The ruling on one who entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah and did not change his clothes until he reached Makkah!!

Question : May Allah reward you. A man from Algeria says: I entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah on the plane without wearing the clothes of ihram, and I entered Makkah but have not performed 'Umrah yet. What must he do?

Answer : He must now take off his clothes, put on the clothes of ihram, and complete the 'Umrah. If he was knowledgeable, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment) because he wore what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked what a person in ihram should wear, and he said: "He does not wear a shirt, trousers, a turban, a hood, or leather socks." However, if he did not know and was ignorant, he owes nothing, because if a person commits any of the prohibitions of ihram while forgetting or being ignorant, he owes nothing. The important thing is that if the brother is listening now, he should go immediately to the House, put on the clothes of ihram, and complete the 'Umrah.
