A driver who entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah and was prevented from entering, so he removed the ihram garments

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a taxi driver intended to perform 'Umrah when he reached the miqat. When he arrived at the road security checkpoint, they refused to let him enter with the car unless he was not in ihram. After a long discussion, he removed the izar and rida, dropped off the passengers, and did not perform the 'Umrah, as if nothing had happened due to his ignorance. The question is: what is required of him now?

Answer:
By Allah, this can be known. From the people of knowledge. If they prevented him, he did well. The Muslim is excused because of being prevented (ihsar). But he has to offer a sacrifice; he has to offer a sacrifice, whatever is easy of the hady. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), when the polytheists prevented him from 'Umrah in the year of Hudaybiyyah, sacrificed his hady at Hudaybiyyah and changed his state of ihram, peace and blessings be upon him.
Yes. And if he returns, he should put on the ihram garments and perform the 'Umrah; that would be better. If he returns to the place where he was, puts on the ihram garments, enters, and performs the 'Umrah, that is better. And this is strange, yes. He offers the fidyah for being prevented. He offers the fidyah for being prevented. He has a choice in it between feeding six poor people, or fasting for three days.
