Question:
The questioner says: I was in Jeddah and entered the state of ihram from there for Hajj. On the way, I was arrested because I did not carry my identification documents. I returned and left Hajj. What is required of me? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
If you made a condition when entering the state of ihram, saying, “If a detainer detains me, I will stop where I am detained,” then nothing is required of you. If you did not make this condition, you are considered a person prevented from completing Hajj, and you owe a fidyah (ransom payment). Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] So you must offer a fidyah of a sheep, which you slaughter in Makkah and distribute among the poor. Yes.

And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allah. But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals
وَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ فَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ
