The ruling on one who falls ill on the way to 'Umrah

Question:
Another questioner says: A man went to the Noble Makkah intending to perform 'Umrah, then he fell ill on the way and returned. What is required of him?

Answer:
If he returned before entering the state of ihram, he owes nothing. But if he had already entered the state of ihram, this requires consideration: does his illness prevent him from proceeding and performing the 'Umrah? In that case, he is considered muhasar (prevented); he slaughters a fidyah (ransom payment) and exits the state of ihram. However, if his illness does not prevent him from proceeding to Makkah, he should wait until he recovers, remain until he is strong and his excuse is removed, then go and complete his 'Umrah and fulfill the Hajj and 'Umrah for the sake of Allah. This is if he did not make a condition when entering the state of ihram. But if he made a condition when entering the state of ihram and said, "If I am prevented by a preventer, I am released where I am prevented," then he exits the state of ihram when the preventer exists, without anything [being required of him], and nothing is obligatory upon him. Yes.
