The ruling on an elderly man who enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah and then becomes unable to complete it!!
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This man is asking. He says: A man entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah? Yes. And he is ninety years old. So when he reached the House. My protection. And he was unable to. Yes. Due to old age. So what does he do?
The Shaykh : The answer is that he remains until he recovers his strength. He remains in his state of ihram. Until he forgets, unless he had stipulated at the time of entering ihram: "If I am prevented by a preventer, then my place of exiting ihram is where I am prevented." In that case, he exits the state of ihram and he owes nothing.
The questioner : Did you understand? Did you understand?
The Shaykh : Ask him now, did he say it at the time of entering ihram?
The questioner : How is it?
The Shaykh : "If I am prevented by a preventer."
The questioner : It is established, yes.
The Shaykh : Just as I said, a need prevented me.
The questioner : From me?
The Shaykh : Does he exit the state of ihram now and he owes nothing? No 'Umrah, no farewell tawaf, and nothing else.
The questioner : Did you understand? Did you understand?
The Shaykh : As for if he did not say that.
The questioner : For that.
The Shaykh : Perhaps this inability is due to the travel and fatigue.
The questioner : No, no, no, it is not expected, it is not expected if we are present.
The Shaykh : It is not expected, so he exits the state of ihram.
The questioner : Perfect.
The Shaykh : And he slaughters a fidyah (ransom payment).
The questioner : Video.
The Shaykh : If he is a visitor, he slaughters it because Allah says[Al-Baqarah 2:196].
The questioner : Thank you.
The Shaykh :[Al-Baqarah 2:196].
The questioner : This.
The Shaykh : And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he was prevented from completing the 'Umrah at al-Hudaybiyyah, he offered a sacrifice and exited the state of ihram.
The questioner : He exited the state of ihram.
The Shaykh : So tell this man now, as long as it is not expected that [he will recover], he slaughters a hady (sacrificial animal) and gives it in charity.
The questioner : And I?
The Shaykh : And he shortens his hair or shaves his head.
The questioner : He stipulated for every need, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : These days before he exits the state of ihram.
The Shaykh : The answer is that he remains until he recovers his strength. He remains in his state of ihram. Until he forgets, unless he had stipulated at the time of entering ihram: "If I am prevented by a preventer, then my place of exiting ihram is where I am prevented." In that case, he exits the state of ihram and he owes nothing.

The questioner : Video.
The Shaykh : If he is a visitor, he slaughters it because Allah says
And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allah. But if you are prevented
وَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ فَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْThe questioner : Thank you.
The Shaykh :
what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals
فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِThe questioner : This.
The Shaykh : And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he was prevented from completing the 'Umrah at al-Hudaybiyyah, he offered a sacrifice and exited the state of ihram.
The questioner : He exited the state of ihram.
