Wearing sewn clothing after entering ihram to pass through security personnel

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A person who did not obtain a permit for Hajj wore his sewn clothes after entering ihram in order to pass through the security personnel. Does he owe a fidyah (ransom payment) for that? And what is the ruling on his deliberately doing what is prohibited?

Answer:
This involves two matters. First is the disobedience of the one in authority, who does not allow anyone to enter except with a permit, for the sake of maintaining security and to make things easier for the pilgrims. The second disobedience is that he wears sewn clothing while in ihram without a legitimate religious reason. This is not permissible for him, and he owes a fidyah if he does this. He owes a fidyah for wearing sewn clothing, and he has the choice between feeding six poor people, slaughtering a sheep, or fasting for three days. Yes.
