Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the obligation for one who passes the miqat? Is his fidyah (ransom payment) to be performed in a specific order or is there a choice?
Answer:
If he passed the miqat and then returned to enter ihram from the miqat, he owes nothing. But if he entered ihram after passing the miqat, the fidyah becomes obligatory upon him, which is slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor. If he cannot find one, he must fast for ten days. This is what is obligatory upon him. Yes.
