The Secret Habit of a Person in Ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a man in ihram engaged in the secret habit and ejaculated. Is there anything required of him?

The Shaykh:
This is considered an error; it is considered a sin, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:
so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of ihram], there is [to be for him] no sexual relations and no disobedienceفَمَن فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ الْحَجَّ فَلَا رَفَثَ وَلَا فُسُوقَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:197]
This is among the lewdness, which is a disobedience. So he must repent to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and he owes a fidyah (ransom payment), which is slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor of the Haram. Yes.

The questioner:
Or a stone.

The Shaykh:
And his Hajj is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
