The ruling on breaking the state of ihram before performing 'Umrah

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you. Nūn Mīm says: We were traveling from Yemen to the Kingdom, my friend and I. When we reached the miqat, we entered the state of ihram there to perform 'Umrah. Then we headed toward Jeddah. When we arrived in Jeddah while in the state of ihram, we got off the bus with our luggage. I said to my companion, “Let us change our ihram garments and put on regular clothes, then we will go with the luggage and the packages we have for some friends, rest at their place for a day or two, and on the second day we will enter the state of ihram again and go to Makkah to perform 'Umrah.” We did that and did not know about the ruling. When we finished the 'Umrah, we asked one of the brothers, and he said, “You are required to offer a sacrificial animal (hady).” The other said, “There is nothing on you as long as you are residents of the country and did not know about any of this.” Please advise us on this question?

Answer:
This is a mistake in any case, that you left the state of ihram. If you entered the state of ihram, the ihram became binding, and it is not permissible for you to break it or exit it except by performing the rites. Allah the Exalted said: “So whoever has made Hajj obligatory for himself during these months…” This means that if one enters the state of ihram, it becomes obligatory upon him, so it is not permissible for him to reject it or get rid of it. Your second entry into the state of ihram has no value; you were in the state of ihram from the first one. And your wearing of sewn clothing is a forbidden act. This is a forbidden act, and you are required to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) as mentioned to you by the one you asked. In the fidyah, you have a choice between feeding six poor people, with each poor person receiving half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of food in Makkah, or slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor. Each one of you is required to slaughter a sheep, or each one of you is required to feed six poor people, or each one of you fasts three days for the forbidden act, which is wearing sewn clothing. Yes.
