The ruling on committing the prohibitions of ihram out of forgetfulness or ignorance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This brother is a Sudanese resident in Riyadh. He says: If a person does any of the prohibitions of ihram in Hajj while forgetting or out of ignorance, what is required of him?

Answer:
If he was forgetting or ignorant, then nothing is required of him according to the correct view. And Allah the Exalted said:
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
. The ignorant person is also excused. There is a view that if what he did involved destruction or killing game, or anything involving destruction, then the prescribed fidyah (ransom payment) applies. But if the thing did not involve destruction, such as using perfume or a man wearing sewn clothing, then the fidyah is dropped due to ignorance and forgetfulness. Yes.
