The ruling on one who passes the miqat in an airplane without entering the state of ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A man wants to perform 'Umrah and came from Kuwait via Dammam, but he did not have his ihram clothes and did not recite the talbiyah for 'Umrah when passing the miqat on the airplane, until he says the plane landed at Jeddah airport and he had not put on the ihram clothes and had not recited the talbiyah for 'Umrah. What should he do in this situation?

Answer:
This is ignorance on his part. It is obligatory for him to enter the state of ihram in the airplane when it passes the miqat, even if he does not have the clothes of ihram with him. He can leave his trousers on and wrap a piece of cloth around his body over his shoulder, chest, and back, and uncover his head until he lands at the airport. Then he buys the clothes of ihram and wears them, and he owes nothing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever cannot find an Izar (waist wrapper), let him wear trousersمن لم يجد إزارا فليلبس السراويل
Sunan an-Nasa'i 5325Sahih (Darussalam)
. However, the situation that occurred on his part requires a fidyah (ransom payment) from him. He owes a fidyah in this matter because he delayed the ihram past the miqat, thereby leaving out one of the obligatory acts of 'Umrah. Whoever leaves out an obligatory act owes a blood sacrifice, a fidyah that he slaughters in Makkah and distributes among the poor. His 'Umrah is valid, if Allah wills.
