The ruling on one who removes his ihram garments at 'Arafah by mistake and does not offer a sacrifice

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
What Allah willed.

The presenter:
May Allah benefit us and you in this scholarly gathering with Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good, in his answers to your questions and inquiries regarding your acts of worship and the rituals of your pilgrimage. We ask Your Eminence's permission to present the questions we have gathered, or as many as time allows.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
A questioner says: I bring to your attention that I performed Hajj for myself last year, and I made a mistake on the day of entering 'Arafah by removing my ihram garments. This happened by mistake and without my intention. I did not offer a sacrifice as I had declared, because I was unable to do so. I also did not fast because I was ignorant of the ruling. This year I am performing Hajj on behalf of my father, and I have not yet paid the cost of the sacrifice so that my heart may be at ease. What is the ruling, Honorable Shaykh, on my past Hajj?

The Shaykh:
I mean you wore sewn clothes, I mean at 'Arafah you wore sewn clothes, you took off the ihram garments and put on sewn clothes. Otherwise, what do you mean by "took off the garments"? What does "took off the garments" mean? Peace be upon you. Where is the questioner? Do you remember? This is an old one.
