What is the ruling on committing the prohibitions of ihram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: A man entered the state of ihram from the miqat of Yemen, and when he arrived in Jeddah, he committed the prohibitions of ihram, such as wearing sewn clothing and other things. What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
If he deliberately wore sewn clothing and committed the prohibitions of ihram, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment). He owes a fidyah for every prohibition he committed. If he wore clothes, applied perfume, or cut his nails or hair, he owes a fidyah for each one. Each type of these has a fidyah, and he has the choice between slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor, or feeding six poor people, with each poor person receiving half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), which is approximately one and a half kilograms per person, or fasting for three days.
As for if he was ignorant or forgetful, he must avoid the prohibitions of ihram. And if he remembers or learns, he avoids the prohibitions of ihram that he had committed, and Allah forgives what happened. Yes.
