Entering the state of ihram in sewn clothing, then re-entering ihram in the proper ihram garments

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I entered the state of ihram at the miqat of al-Sayl al-Kabir in sewn clothing, intentionally. Then I went back and entered the state of ihram a second time in the proper ihram garments. Do I owe a fidyah (ransom payment)?

Answer:
Going back a second time does not help, because you have already entered the state of ihram and the ihram has become binding. You owe a fidyah (ransom payment) for having entered ihram in your regular clothes. Even if you go back and enter ihram a second time, the second ihram has no value.
