The number of fidyah (ransom payments) due on one who passes the miqat (boundary) without removing his sewn garments

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Salim says: A man passed by the miqat intending to perform Hajj, but he did not enter the state of ihram at the miqat, nor did he wear the clothes of ihram. He entered ihram from Makkah. One person told him that he owes a fidyah for this, while another told him that he owes two fidyahs: one for not entering ihram at the miqat, and one for wearing sewn clothes. A third person told him that he owes three fidyahs, with the third fidyah being for shaving the head. Which of these is correct?

Answer:
Yes, all of this is correct. If he passed by the miqat intending to perform Hajj and did not perform it, then it is obligatory for him to enter ihram from the miqat. If he passed by while wearing his clothes and intending to enter ihram, and he intended to enter ihram after passing the miqat, but he did not remove his clothes, then he owes a second fidyah for the clothes, and he also owes a fidyah for covering the head, if he intended to enter ihram. However, as long as he has not yet intended to enter ihram, he owes nothing except the first fidyah, which is for passing the miqat without entering ihram. Passing by the miqat while intending to perform Hajj and not entering ihram is established as an obligation upon him, unless he returns before entering ihram. If he returns and enters ihram from the miqat, then he owes nothing. But if he goes on and intends to enter ihram, and does not enter ihram until after passing the miqat or arriving in Makkah, then when he intends to enter ihram, he must remove the sewn clothes or wear the izar (lower garment) and rida (upper garment). If he does not remove them, he owes two fidyahs: one for the sewn clothes on the body, and one for covering the head. Yes.
