What is the ruling on one who enjoys his wife below the private parts while in the state of ihram for 'Umrah, and then ejaculates?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I enjoyed my wife, who was in the state of ihram for 'Umrah, below the private parts, and then I ejaculated. What is the ruling, and do I owe an expiation? If so, what is it?

Answer:
Yes, you owe a fidyah (ransom payment). You made a mistake because you committed one of the prohibitions of ihram, but it does not invalidate the 'Umrah because it is not intercourse; rather, it is a desire other than intercourse. So you owe a fidyah: you slaughter a fidyah in Makkah and distribute it to the poor. Do not return to such an act. Yes, so whoever makes Hajj obligatory upon himself in them, there is no lewd speech, no transgression, and complete the Hajj and 'Umrah for Allah. It is not permissible for you to enjoy your wife while you are in the state of ihram.
